Harry and Meghan Charm Sometimes Skeptical Subjects in Australia

SYDNEY, Australia - Australian praising Prince Harry and his wife, Meghan, the pastor of Sussex, went to Sydney on Tuesday and applauded for a new glimpse of a new day that they were known earlier that they were the new addition of the royal family expected.

The few - young, diverse and shrewd - are the new face of royally. But the Australian has long been a complicated relationship with the monarchy, and the hundred rounds of the couple has been considered extensively as a charming offense of sometimes skeptical issues.

But what is the relationship, both political and emotional, between Australia and the royal family?

We will explain it.

What did the monarchy do with Australia?

Around the world, Queen Elizabeth II is known as the Queen of England. But in 16 other Commonwealth countries, the same woman is also the head of the official state. That means they also respond to the Queen of Australia, the Queen of Canada and the Queen of Barbados.

Until 1986, Australian law was effectively sold thousands of miles away to the British Parliament. But two acts took place the same year in Australia and Britain directly involved British participation in the Australian government.

The queen - and their nephew - still play an important role in the country. As head of state (but not government), the image of the Queen always appears on banknotes and postage stamps, and her representative, the Governor General, serves as a stamp: new legislation by the federal parliament. Australia, Prime Ministers and Judges, Ambassadors and other officials.

Young people are curious about Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. They see the couple as young, diverse and cold.

Is everyone happy with the royal visit?

The short answer: no.

There is an historical point of view between two groups: monarchists and republics.

Monarchists say: If it's not broken, why can you calculate it? The monarch offers stability and the governor general is an important element in the creation of security legislators - the prime minister in particular - by the Constitution. The system, they say, works.

Republicans representing complete independence say that the monarchy is an average and outdated institution. Because of Australia, there is no legislative connection with England, so it makes sense that the Australian head of state is Australian. The hereditary nature of the monarchy contrasts with many Australian beliefs is an important national value: egalitarian.

And another big problem: Australian taxes pay the cost of travel for members of the royal family. A fifth visit to the Queen in 2006 cost $ 1.8 million, or about $ 1.3 million.

Peter Cosgrove, the governor general, serves as a representative of the queen.

But what do you think of the Australian real?

After the death of Princess Diana in 1997, the monarchy has returned to calm.

A 2016 report suggests that the approval of the royal family has been put in place, especially among young people. The marriage of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle in May was considered a ceremony in a more modern and inclusive image of royalty.

However, many Australians are ready to break with Windsor. An investigation just before the neighborhoods revealed that most Australians, 48%, had been assisted in the republic. The other half of the Australian word was divided between monarchy and independence.

Could Australia soon become a republic?

Experts say the relationship between Australia and the monarchy will probably not change as long as the queen, who is now 92 years old and has been in power for the longest time, still lives.

But without a unilateral movement between republics, it would be difficult to mobilize national support. A referendum on the republic in 1999 failed after 55% of citizens opposed it.
