	Queen Camilla of Australia? - Gerard Henderson - www.theage.com.au
		In his authoritative study The Monarchy and the Constitution, the British constitutional historian Vernon Bogdanor defined a morganatic marriage as "one in which the wife of the sovereign and any children who may be born of the marriage are denied royal status and all the claims or privileges that go with it".
		In The Monarchy and the Constitution Bogdanor wrote: "In Australia the governor-general performs nearly all of the functions of a head of state but is not himself or herself a head of state." Bogdanor made it clear that "the sovereign is the head of state" of Australia, among other nations.
		It is the fact that Charles is next in line to become Australia's head of state that involves Australia in the constitutional saga about Charles formalising his personal arrangements with a long-time flame.
