There have been discussions about replacing Charles with an Australian on Australia?s 5 dollar notes, a Treasury official intimated yesterday. The notes already in circulation that have the Queen?s head on them will remain as legal currency however and won?t be withdrawn.

King Charles III will not ?automatically? appear on Australia?s $5 note because Queen Elizabeth II featured due to her ?personal? status, the assistant minister for treasury has said.

?The reigning monarch has traditionally appeared on the lowest denomination of Australian banknote.

?The Reserve Bank will provide further updates in due course.?

The Queen made the transition to our decimal currency in 1966, when she first graced the now-discontinued $1 paper note, and has long featured on the $5 polymer note.?

Queen may be replaced by an Australian rather than King Charles III on $5 note | Australia news | The Guardian

There?s a quirk in Australia?s constitutional arrangements that looks weird to outsiders, and that is that each State legislature has to declare the accession of a new monarch and its parliamentary members then have to swear allegiance to the new monarch. In this case it?s Charles, (as Victorian MPs did yesterday)  although all the State legislatures representatives have already sworn allegiance to Elizabeth II when they entered parliament.

ABC US doesn?t understand this at all as you can tell from this report!

This isn?t so in Federal Parliament in Canberra as each Member of the House of Reps and the Senate just pledges allegiance to the current monarch ?and her/his heirs and successors.?

This anomaly occurs because historically each of the then colonies before Federation in 1901 demanded certain rights and protections as the ?price? for becoming Federated. Several mistrusted the more powerful colonies like Victoria and NSW and wanted a certain independence from national and international decision-making.

And so, even after a referendum taken nationally to become a republic, in theory a State like Queensland or Western Australia could afterward vote to keep the monarch, leading to all sorts of complications. Such a scenario would be extremely unlikely btw, but in theory it?s still possible. Weird, isn?t it? Does Canada have anything similar?

I took a look at the order of Precedence in the BRF now we have a new sovereign.

Order of precedence in England and Wales - Wikipedia

As can be seen for males it is headed by Sovereign and Consort, then the sons of the Sovereign then the grandchildren (five at the moment.)

For females it is headed by Consort (there are no dowager Queens) then Charles?s daughters in law, he having no daughters, then by his grandchildren.

Interesting for the males that the Earl of Snowdon takes precedence over Prince Michael of Kent. For the ladies, Lady Sarah Chatto has precedence over Princess Alexandra. I'm speculating that Princess Margaret's children as the grandchildren of George VI take precedence over the grandchildren of George V (Michael and Alexandra). They're also higher in the line of succession as well.

I read an article that said Charles may reign until his 80th birthday. I don?t know if it?s accurate or not. :windsor1: :orchid: :Jen:

Then we might have a King William and Queen Catherine.
I think I'm the only one here that has written a letter to the Queen and got a letter back from the Lady in Waiting..... :P :happy15: :wed:

Charles has already stated that he intends to be like his mother and tule until the end.

King Charles says in his speech he wouldn?t abdication like his mother the Queen Elizabeth II till dead but HM Queen Elizabeth II wouldn?t abdication till her dead when young Queen was 10 years old her uncle got abdication because of chosen married or throne
