Australian Prime Minister, Ms. Julia Gillard had determined that she
would not be bending at the knee to her majesty,
but instead, oh the nerve!, to bow to the Queen, and to shake her hand.
As far as Queen Elizabeth goes, this is acceptable, and we guess she will not be
cancelling her ten day trip over this!
Naturally, as it is their job, some of the media have kicked up a stink, and those with
a bit more of the monarchist mindset, feel that their prime minister is embarrassing them.
From the Palace, it seems the Queen is very little worried about the whole affair.
There was no indication that she was at all offended, and in fact is said to have been
really delighted with the absolutely warm Royal welcome she has been given.
There have been huge crowds cheering the Queen, all is well!
