A Surprising Trend: Free Royal Portraits in Australia

In a quirky twist, Australians can snag free portraits of King Charles III, thanks to a little-known government policy. Lawmaker Patrick Gorman kicked it off on social media, and folks are actually showing up for them! Who knew royal swag could be so accessible?

Why Are Young People Asking for Royal Pics?

With the monarchy’s relevance being debated, it's wild that people still want these prints. After Queen Elizabeth II's passing, demand skyrocketed, suggesting nostalgia or a cheeky way to connect with tradition. Gorman’s given out 85 portraits already—so clearly, some Aussies are vibing with the royals!

How Other Countries Compare: Portraits Galore but Not for Free

Unlike Australia, other countries handle royal portraits differently. In New Zealand, you only get a digital download, while Canadians have to pay postage. So, if you're down under, consider this your royal hookup!
