Does Australia want the British monarchy?
A visit by King Charles has reignited the debate over cutting ties with the royals.
King Charles’s first visit to Australia since becoming the head of state has reignited the debate over cutting ties with the royals. His tour has been met with fanfare and protest; cheers and heckles — including by Senator Lidia Thorpe in Parliament. So what do Australians think of the monarchy’s role in their country? What would it take to become a republic? Is there still a place for the monarchy in Britain’s former colonies?
On this episode Lucy Hockings speaks to the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s Australia correspondent Katy Watson and Royal correspondent Sean Coughlan.
