"It’s official: the royals are returning down under. King Charles and Queen
Camilla are scheduled to visit Australia and Samoa in October, attending events
in Canberra and New South Wales (with more details to come).
Royal visits are designed to communicate a curated vision of imperial loyalty,
but have always been a flashpoint for tension. In fact, the first royal visit
to Australia was a disaster. It cost the lives of several people and exposed
deep social divisions. The prince himself narrowly escaped assassination."
