From the Edwardian scandal to the recent Andrew affair, the British monarchy survives by managing its legitimacy rather than earning respect.
Basically, the monarchy is now irrelevant in Australia. It's only value is historical. It plays no useful modern role.

Nominally, our head of state is the royal family. Actually, Australians would rather they weren't๐
Absolutely agreed. There seems to be no political will to change it though.
No, there isn't really. As long as the Brits keep their nose out of our business, they are almost irrelevant ๐
