[QUOTE="Herremann the Wise, post: 1540597, member: 11300"] [b]Queen Elizabeth II or Princess Mary?[/b] Hi Everyone, On a technical basis, Queen Elizabeth II is our queen - I'm speaking from an Australian perspective here - but in reality, she has negligible power over everyday Australians. Our head of state is the Governor General who is the queen's representative but the Governor General is selected by the Prime Minister - the political leader of Australia - and can be hired and fired by the Prime Minister. Anyway, this is all very staid and boring. However, with the marriage of Crown Prince Frederick of Denmark to the Australian Mary Elizabeth Donaldson, we Australians have most likely the closest thing to our first royal - even though she has to give up her Australian citizenship to do so. I think for those Australians who care, they are walking a little taller and will have a bigger smile on their faces this evening when the two are married. For some reason, there is just something special about a Crown Prince marrying a "commoner" - who may I say is absolutely gorgeous - from a different land. I think this is a fantasy that just makes you smile. To see the way how the Danish seem to love their royals and have accepted Mary whole-heartedly is very special to some of us here down under. Anyway, three cheers for the happy couple and here's hoping their marriage brings further happiness. I would be curious on the Danish perspective to those of you who hail from Denmark. Best Regards Herremann the Wise [/QUOTE]
