Republican Australia and New Zealand leaders snub King Charles' coronation.

The leaders of Australia and New Zealand, both lifelong republicans, will pledge their allegiance to King Charles at his coronation in London on Saturday. The two countries are holding events to celebrate the coronation, although there is expected to be less pageantry than after the death of Queen Elizabeth last year. Despite their republican convictions, neither Albanese nor Hipkins are actively campaigning for the British monarch to be replaced as head of state.
