Prince and Princess of Wales receive positive backing amid King Charles’ health battle
William and Catherine have received a wave of support regarding their future as King and Queen, with prominent Australian figures reinforcing their popularity and the monarchy’s stability.
Following King Charles’ recent tour, which faced backlash from anti-monarchist groups, the Prince and Princess of Wales were met with encouraging news from Australia. Key political figures suggested that the likelihood of the country becoming a republic remains slim, strengthening the royal family’s standing.
Former Prime Minister Tony Abbott told the Sunday Express, “I am sure the common sense of the Australian people means that a republic will never happen in my country, and in any event, Wills and Kate are overwhelmingly the most popular members of the Royal Family.”
Similarly, former Australian Foreign Minister Alexander Downer dismissed the possibility of Australia breaking away from the monarchy anytime soon. He stated that not only is the royal family widely admired, but transitioning to a republic would be a complex process requiring both legislative approval and a national referendum.
The news comes as a source of encouragement for the King, who is undergoing cancer treatment, as William and Catherine continue to uphold the monarchy’s presence and popularity on the global stage.
