The round, yellow one, right at the very bottom. [bigwhistle]

Ah yes. I see, except Her Majesty is riding a motocycle rather than an armchair. :tease:

I heard the Commonwealth Games described as like the Olympics but without the cheats.

Charles inherits a personal fortune of about 500 million pounds, part of the royal estate, valued at about 28 billion pounds.
As Duke of Cornwall Prince Charles voluntarily paid 45% income tax on his annual income of 21 million pounds from the Duchy of Cornwall, valued at about 1 billion pounds, so good on him for doing that.
That now passes to William.

Queen Elizabeth'''s will and net worth: Who will inherit her fortune | Fortune

For me, it's not about if Elizabeth and Charles are good or bad people, that's irrelevant.
I don't talk about a republic either, because minds immediately jump to Trump and his misbehaviour.
I just want an Australian head of state, with a largely ceremonial role like the GG, like a wicketkeeper who picks up the ball when the players drop it and acts to ensure the game continues.
I'd be quite happy with an eminent non-political person chosen by federal parliament.
I suspect many others agree.

A fine sentiment, DM.

Unfortunately, as this Head of State would more than likely be a human, politics will be involved.

That raises an interesting thought.
Would the HOS have to be Australian born? If so and they had to be a muso, I'd go for Tim Rogers. [smilebigeye]

Also, will the Prince Charles Hospital change title?

Best thing to come out of this, an extra day off for the Grand Final long weekend [thumbsupbig].
