Britain's Prince Charles sent a hand-written letter of support to Australia's governor general in 1976, backing his controversial sacking of Prime Minister Gough Whitlam, local media reported on Saturday.

The letter, published on Saturday by The Australian newspaper, is dated four months after Queen Elizabeth’s representative in Australia, John Kerr, took the unprecedented step to dismiss Whitlam without first warning the palace or the prime minister. “What you did last year was right and the courageous thing to do — and most Australians seemed to endorse your decision when it came to the point.”

Whitlam’s firing remains one of the country’s most polarising political events because it represented an unmatched level of intervention by the Commonwealth.

Not sure why this is a “thing”. It’s clear Kerr acted unilaterally, with no ref to local politicians or Palace before his admittedly controversial action. The Gov-Gen is appointed by the Queen, but the Oz gov chooses. Charles’ letter was 4 months later, just being supportive.

Yes and the Queens office advised about the sacking in an apparent breach of her constitutional role but the media keeps pim on that

danwootton piersmorgan Are you gonna write columns asking for Charles to be stripped of his titles too🤔🤔 RacismInUK

And people are losing their shit over Meghan and Harry encouraging people to vote.

harryandmeghan only asked people to vote for causes they believe in and against what they don’t, yet some people wanted their titles stripped- for simple encouraging folks to exercise their right to vote.

So no 'stripe him from his titles' like they want for Harry and Meghan. The double standard, the bias against Meghan. Shame on you Britain.

But where are the UK trolls! Charles made a political act. So the trolls say nothing?

Who cares.

A win for the republican movement. Thank you.
