HM has served her British kingdom well. OZ ejected her in 1973 as monarch of the UK and said she is Queen of Australia. As there was no coronation for that and no act of Westminster, there is no such Queen.
It's like having NSW laws signed by the Prime Minister of NSW after the state Plmt. declares the new position for the Oz PM.
The British Queen has corgis as well as the Australian realm and laws could be given assent by her corgis, with inked paws. No crowned monarch has legalised Aust law since 1973.
Maybe Charles III will get the correct crowned authority.

FOXY...I think I'd be contravening the rules of the Forum to speak of my times at Darlinghurst. Or some of the memorable events in Vietnam ?

Several unsettling events, that I will share with you FOXY, that always struck me as being somewhat peculiar ? We were often tasked with sweeping through areas near the villages of Long Dien and Dat Do. The inhabitant's of which were known to give material support to the NVA and VC, and both villages were situated not that far from the notorious Long Hai hills. Some of those sweeps included ambush patrols, often at night.

Occasionally we were treated to a veritable, 'sound and light show', all of which were the compliments of the massive B52's undertaking heavy bombing runs over the Long Hai's. To describe it as breathtakingly beautiful, watching tons and tons of 1000lb bombs wrecking death and destruction on the hapless NVA and Vietcong. While most sought safety ensconced in the tunnel systems within the Long Hai's, many though simply couldn't, so consequently they perished.

To describe something, so destructive as heavy bombing, as being truly beautiful at night, feeling the enormous concussion of the earth immediately around you, observing the many brightly lit fireballs reaching far into the night sky, sounds incredible brutal, as well so insensitive and callous into the bargain ?

HM was Queen of RAR and napalm came down on women and kids from Mr Prasiden. The US Congress is closely modelled on Westminster forms.
With the internet all politicians and royals get buckets of feedback instantly. Charles gets it when he steps out of line.
So evidently HM reigned so long over us , happy and glorious, and saved, due to not doing anything noticeable.
In the end, everyone is just the next door person.

Dear Nick,

You seem a big confused as to the role of Her Majesty
in Australia.

Perhaps the following website may clarify things for you:

http://www.royal.gov.uk/MonarchAndCommonwealth/Australia/TheQueensroleinAustralia.aspx

It explains what the Queens role is in this country.

Dear O Sung Wu,

Thank you for the very moving snippets that you do
give us of your life experiences.

As I stated earlier - if you were to write a book,
I certainly buy it.

In any case you should write something down as a legacy
for others, especially those in your own family.
