The royal tour is an outdated tradition that diverts attention and resources from more pressing issues. Australia and other Commonwealth nations should be focusing on their own governance and tackling climate change through practical policies, rather than relying on symbolic gestures from a foreign monarch. The tour may also reignite debates about republicanism, potentially destabilizing political landscapes in visited countries.
