The Australian Prime Minister, John Howard was in England meeting the
Queen at Balmoral. They were discussing Australia and Howard’s plans
for the future.
Howard asked the queen if it was possible to turn Australia into a
Kingdom to increase its force in the world market. The Queen replied,
“One needs a King for a Kingdom and you are most certainly not a
King.”
He then asks if it is possible to turn Australia into an Empire. The
Queen replies, “For an Empire one needs an Emperor you are most
certainly not an Emperor.”
Howard thinks for a moment and then asks if it is possible to turn
Australia into a principality. The Queen replies, “For a principality
one needs a Prince and you Mr. Howard are certainly not a prince.”
The Queen adds further, “Without meaning to be rude Mr. Howard I think
Australia should remain as a country.”
