Australian addendum

After I had posted Much Ado About Nothing Down Under yesterday about the “Palace Papers” in Australia I came across another Wikipedia article about the development of the Australian monarchy during the twentieth century. This adds considerably to the account of the place of the monarch within the Australian constitution which I linked to, and is well worth looking at. It shows the organic and legal development of the institution under successive sovereigns, and how it has changed as the British Empire transformed itself into the Commonwealth. It can be viewed   at History of monarchy in Australia
