Book excerpt: The relationship between Australia and the royal family is complex and fascinating. We are drawn to the pure magic of palaces, celebrity romance and high-fashion, but it goes deeper. This isn't just any royal family, its Australia's royal family, who, when they are on our soil, consider themselves Australian, with a genuine and heartfelt connection to the people of Australia. Juliet Rieden is the long-time deputy editor of the Australian Women's Weekly and the magazine's royal correspondent. In this lavishly produced, fully illustrated and meticulously researched book, Juliet tells the story of over 100 years of royal visits to Australia, and explores the myriad ties and deep connections that keep the Monarchy firmly entrenched as our Head of State and Australian support for the continuation of the Monarchy at 51 per cent, the highest in 35 years.
