Charles said to be adopting ‘anti-confrontational approach’ to republican campaigners before visit

King Charles has said he will not stand in the way if Australia wishes to replace him as the country's head of state, it has been reported.

Ahead of his visit later this month, the king is said to be adopting an "anti-confrontational approach" to Australian republican campaigners, the Daily Mail reported.

So, countries can multitask. I don't believe that it's a fair criticism of an action to say "I want the country to do this other action that I want".

It might be a fair criticism to say "the country isn't doing the thing that I want".

But countries are large organizations. There are many, many things that a country does in a given year, and many of them won't be the particular concern of some given individual. But that doesn't imply that those things shouldn't (or should) be done.
