That's kind of my take too.
It's damaging the cause of republicans...and she's targeting the wrong bloke.
Now the monarchy and the republic are obvioulsy intertwined.
But Charles has said that the decision on a republic rests solely with the Australian people.
And that's how it should be.
I suspect he wouldn't be to worried to give us the flick, but still retain visitation rights.

What is the benefit of keeping the status quo?

What is the drawbacks of 'leaving the nest'?

I can't see a whole lot changing

I think it will eventually.
Maybe not in my lifetime.
It will be a generational thing...although at the moment there still seems to be strong support for the monarchy amongst young Australians

Of course there is always the chance we'll be states number 51-56.  
Then I can be President  >
