So will Australian get down on their knees and grovel to the next English Queen, Queen Camilla, Queen of the Stables?
Queen's Ireland visit gains momentum
The Queen's first visit to the Republic of Ireland has moved a step closer, after the man most likely to lead the country voiced his support for the idea.
Fine Gael party leader Enda Kenny says a royal trip is long overdue, and there is speculation the trip could take place within the next three months.
The last serving British monarch to visit Dublin was King George V in 1911, before the republic gained independence from Britain.
The Queen is a regular visitor to Northern Ireland, but has never stepped across the border.
Mr Kenny says the Queen would be warmly received by the majority of Irish people and says a visit would symbolise the "growing up" of both countries.
But Sinn Fein's party president, Gerry Adams, is opposed to the visit, saying it is premature.
