The show’s letters to Queen earlier said she had not heard of the Australian prime minister’s attempt – BBC News

The Queen was not notified in advance of a letter informing Australian Prime Minister Gough Whitlam of the 1975 releases. Whitlam’s government removed the Queen’s representatives at the time, Governor-General Sir John Kerr, and replaced him with an opposition party. It is the most controversial event in the political history of Australia. The letters, released after the court battle, show that Sir John “did not know how to read better.” However, they reveal whether Sir John, who was the Australian governor before he was the chief judge, discussed with Buckingham Palace whether he had the constitutional authority to dismiss Whitlam. Australia is a constitutional monarchy, with the queen as head of state. Prior to his release, many Australians had little idea that his representative had that power. Since then historians have wondered if the palace knew what it was like to remove Mr. Whitlam. #BBCOS #BBCOutsideSource Please subscribe HERE .
