Change the Regal Regime
By Nick Hodge | February 27, 2005
Prince Charles, Australia's next King is coming to lord over part of his future realm this week. Meanwhile former Australian, Princess Mary and her new husband Price Frederik of Denmark are in Sydney (Princess Mary on Sydney Harbour). Royalty seems to be a major event for Australia, but the Danish royal couple are scooping the newspaper column centimetres and grabs on TV.
Why don't we trade in the old, rusted Battenburg-Windsor hegemony for the young Danes? Being an Anglo-saxon country, many of our ancestors came from Danish soil in the 5th and 6th centuries. Surely we get a vote in this? Oh, that's right - our feudal overlords are not chosen in a democratic way. Shame.
