A special Roy Morgan SMS Poll shows that 61% of Australians (down 5% points since 2010) believe that Australia should keep the current National Flag, while only 39% (up 10% points) say there should be a new design for the National Flag. Analysis of the results by gender shows that 63% of women and 60% of men favour retaining the current National Flag. Meanwhile, Australians of all ages are in favour of retaining the National Flag, although support is strongest among those aged 50+. The SMS poll was conducted on 22 and 23 October 22, with a nationwide cross-section of 1,312 Australians. The survey was conducted as King Charles III and Queen Camilla’s first visit to Australia as reigning monarchs came to an end. Australians were asked about their views on the retention of the Monarchy; 57% (down 3% points since September 2022) believe that Australia should remain a Monarchy, while only 43% (up 3% points) say Australia should become a Republic with an elected President.

The Urological Society of Australia & New Zealand’s vice-president Damien Bolton has welcomed the decision by King Charles III to publicly disclose his treatment for an enlarged prostate. He says the news has had an immediate impact in Australia, with a sharp increase in the number of men seeking to have their prostate checked. Professor Bolton notes that men have traditionally been reluctant to speak about prostate issues and surgery, but the King’s announcement is ‘normalising’ the conversation about this health issue. He adds that prostate checks will save many lives in the long-run.

King Charles III says he has been "deeply touched" by all the messages of condolence he and his wife have received since the passing of Queen Elizabeth II. He made his comments in a message of thanks after the UK held a minute’s silence in memory of the Queen, while King Charles and Camilla had earlier hosted world leaders and other official guests at a large reception at Buckingham Palace. US President Joe Biden and his wife Jill visited Westminster Hall to pay their respects, with Biden saying at Lancaster House that the Queen reminded him of his mother.

Members of the royal family have attend a private burial service for Elizabeth II at Windsor Castle. The Queen has been laid to rest in the Royal Vault in the King George VI Memorial Chapel alongside Prince Philip and her parents, King George VI and the Queen Mother. The private service followed the state funeral at Westminster Abbey, which was attended by more than 2,000 people, including world leaders, ambassadors, royalty and members of the public. Thousands of people had earlier lined the streets of London to watch the funeral procession as the Queen’s coffin was taken on a gun carriage from Westminster Hall to the Abbey. After the funeral the Queen’s coffin was taken to Wellington Arch, where it was placed inside the State Hearse and began its final journey to Windsor Castle. The royal family will now enter seven days of mourning, although the public mourning period has ended.
