́Australia and the British monarchy have always had a close relationship, yet they make for an odd couple: the rebellious, egalitarian nation wedded to an ancient system of social inequality. So what is the magic the royals hold over Australians? Queen Victoria was revered in Australia, even though shéd never seen the place and showed little interest in it. When her son Price Alfred visited in 1867, on the first ever royal visit of Australia, he was received rapturously, and nearly assassinated. In 1954 the country was gripped by royal fever when newly crowned Queen Elizabeth II landed on its shores; and more than sixty years later, having turned 90, she is as popular in Australia as she ever was. Not only that, but with the popularity of William, Kate, George and Charlotte burgeoning, against the odds the monarchy looks set to enter the hearts and minds of a new generation of Australians.́--Back cover.

Australia and the British monarchy have always made for an odd couple: the young, rebellious, egalitarian nation wed to the ancient symbol of colonial power. How have the royals come to be as popular now as they ever were? David Hill tells the story of this relationship from the beginning. Many histories have largely ignored the enduring role of the British monarchy in the political and cultural life of Australia. In this wide-ranging book, David Hill traces the highs and lows by setting his sights on watershed moments in Australian history. It is a relationship rife with contradictions. Queen Victoria became a towering influence in Australia and was more revered the longer she reigned even though she never visited the place. The growth of the 1990s republican movement existed alongside the public adoration of Princess Diana. Ever since Australia was claimed as the territory of King George III in 1770, the pulse of the nation can be measured by its level of attachment to an aristocratic bloodline living on the other side of the world. With the recent rise in popularity for William, Kate and Prince George, the monarchy looks set to enter the hearts and minds of a new generation of Australians. As one of our most popular writers of Australian history, David Hill is our reliable and entertaining guide to this most peculiar state of affairs

Australia's connection to the British Monarchy is instinctive to many Australians. But a great deal of us don't know precisely how or why. Part history, part biography and part common sense, this compact and readable essay from Sean Jacobs offers a 'modern upgrade' to our understanding and appreciation of Australia's monarchy, covering ground on Australian leadership, culture, foreign policy and even Queen Elizabeth's appeal to the traditions of Indigenous cultures. At a time when republican designs are emerging, and Queen Elizabeth's reign enters the eighth decade, Thoroughly Modern Patriot offers a practical and sensible look at our current arrangements, and how these can continue to serve Australia well into the future. Sean Jacobs is a Papua New Guinean-born Australian writer, government relations and public policy specialist. He has worked at all levels of government in Australia, New Zealand and PNG, and holds a BA (International Relations) from Griffith University and Postgraduate Certificate in Policing, Intelligence and Counter Terrorism from Macquarie University. Jacobs currently lives in Brisbane.

Canada, Australia and New Zealand inherited and adapted a monarchical framework of government, even in the absence of a resident monarch. Although steady transfer of the royal prerogative to a popularly elected executive has enabled these three former dominions to be sometimes described as "crowned republics" or "disguised republics", there was no popular drive to abandon monarchy until the 1990s, and even then the republican cause was based largely on issues of symbolism and national identity than on perceived core weaknesses in the political system. This book traces the long and sometimes subtle process of localising monarchy in the vice-regal office from the mid-twentieth century onwards, and compares the powers and functions of the Queen's surrogates with each other and with those of the monarch herself, including their recourse to the so-called "reserve powers". Among the key questions posed in this comparative study are: Can the current monarchical system be refined to the point of countering republican sentiment? Why has the republican argument gained more momentum in Australia than in Canada or New Zealand? Can a republican model retain residual monarchic elements? What is likely to be the lasting legacy of the Crown in these three strikingly similar political cultures? The author's underlying loyalties are neither firmly monarchist nor firmly republican. He is convinced, however, that the combined effects of a strong sense of national identity and an increasingly presidential style of political leadership within these three Westminster-derived systems make it difficult for contemporary governors-general (or their state and provincial colleagues)to fulfil two of their key roles-to unite and inspire the people on the one hand and to be a credible constitutional watchdog on the other.

Out of Australia’s total population of around nine million, an estimated seven million people turned out to catch a glimpse of the newly crowned Queen Elizabeth II in 1954. Sixty years later, in April 2014, television news bulletins, newspapers and social media were awash with stories of the royal visit of Prince William, his wife Catherine and their baby son George. The frequent, whirlwind royal tours of today are a far cry from those to Australia between 1867 and 1954. These stretched over months, bursting with events such as civic receptions, state banquets, military reviews, cricket matches, agricultural shows, processions, schoolchildren’s pageants and the laying of foundation stones. Occasionally shambolic, quarrelsome and raucous affairs, they were always intensely patriotic. While most of the visits described in this book are from the British Royal Family, royals from other countries appear too, including ‘Our Mary’ of the Danish Royal Family, proudly claimed by Australians as their own. Royal Visits to Australia provides a fascinating glimpse into the evolving Australian psyche and cultural identity. Although our enthusiasm for the Royal Family has waxed and waned over the decades, it is tempting to attribute the fervour of today’s young people to modern celebrity culture. Royal Visits to Australia uncovers an affection that runs much deeper than a passing crush. The book is richly illustrated with stunning full page and double-page black-and-white photos from the early years to magnificent colour photos of more recent years. Also included is a vast array of drawings, lithographs, illuminated addresses, magazine articles, programs, menus and invitation cards and other souvenirs. Royal Visits to Australia is packed with fascinating stories and firsthand accounts. Read about an assassination attempt on Prince Alfred, the first royal visitor, in 1867; the weeping and hysteria of hundreds of thousands of people at Fremantle at the departure of the Duke and Duchess of Cornwall and York, in 1901; the unprecedented scenes of wild welcome at the 1954 visit of Queen Elizabeth II, the first reigning monarch to visit Australia; allegations of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) attempting to assassinate Prince Philip in Sydney in 1973; media obsession with discerning romantic gestures and stories of cracks in the marriage of Prince Charles and Princess Diana, in the 1980s; and, in 2014, William and Kate’s visit, with baby George in tow, the first royal tour since the social media revolution.

This thesis contributes to present inter-war historiography on Australians and the monarchy by providing a narrative for the previously under-researched evolution of the public life of Edward, Prince of Wales, in this country between approximately 1916 and 1936. The objectives are twofold: firstly, to provide an Australian account of what has been most commonly presented as a public life that resonated mainly within Britain, and in doing so illustrate the potency of the relationship that existed between Australia, as one of the Dominions, and the Crown. Secondly, through identifying the changing nature of Edward's appeal as espoused by the public, the press and political rulers over time, I aim to establish fresh insights into the localised preoccupations of Australian society and contribute to a greater understanding of the centrality of the monarch in the inter-war imperial imagination. I conclude that Edward's supposedly democratic characteristics both enhanced and conflicted with inter-war Australian ideals of nationhood, and were founded on a fixed suite of expectations for the private and public life of the monarch. His persona was remarkably disassociated from religious or class-based affiliations, meaning that his personal appeal flourished in public, press and political perceptions. Nonetheless, I establish that contemporary Australians perceived the monarch as central to the survival of the Empire. Although the legal and political elements of the Kingship were flexible according to the best interests of Australian independence, traditional attitudes prevailed in matters of sexual modernity. Ultimately, for Australians, as part of an Empire caught between the devastation of two world wars, the survival of the monarchy prevailed over the survival of the monarch.
