On of the great things about our monarchy is that it keeps us in touch with the other countries of the British family, especially New Zealand, Canada and the UK. The sad thing about republican thinking is that it wants us to cut those ties in favour of an essentially small-minded and parochial view of the world.
I see no problem with having Charles as my King, and I see no problem with having Camilla as my Queen. I'd certainly like it if members of the royal family visited more often, but Charles was rebuffed when he wanted to be our Governor-General, so perhaps we shouldn't be too surprised.
