King Charles to visit Australia to face issues against monarchy

• Historian Dr Cindy McCreery has proposed a temporary solution.
• Visits from senior members of the Royal Family “certainly help,” she says.
• King Charles will not be represented on Australia’s new five-dollar bill.

King Charles III may soon visit Australia to counteract the country’s rising Republican sentiment.

Royal pundits and historians believe that the Commonwealth’s main nation will formally sever relations with the Royal Family.

Dr Cindy McCreery, an Australian culture historian, has proposed a temporary solution, claiming that Britain’s new monarch’s tour may be exactly what the country requires.

“I do think that some visits by senior royals like the King and Queen or the heir to the throne, would help,” she told a news outlet.

McCreery, an associate professor at the University of Sydney, stated that visits from senior members of the Royal Family “certainly help,” adding: “It does help promote the relationship.”

On Thursday, Australia’s central bank said that King Charles will not be represented on the country’s new five-dollar bill, the only note bearing the British monarch.

Some see the latest development as a dangerous indication for the British monarchy, as the country debates how closely it should be linked to Britain constitutionally.

The historian argues that many Australians believe they are not a priority for the British Royal Family, and that this is unlikely to alter in the future saying: “I don’t know that we are really a priority,” the historian said. “And I think that’s what Australians are kind of waking up to… that there’s so much else that the King is focusing on.”

It is worth noting that Buckingham Palace has not yet disclosed any information about the King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla’s future royal visits.
