In this July 6, 2010, file photo, Britain's Queen Elizabeth II speaks at the United Nations Headquarters. Australia should drop its ties to the British monarchy after the reign of Queen Elizabeth II ends, the prime minister said Tuesday Aug. 17, 2010. Prime Minister Julia Gillard, whose center-left Labor Party has long held that the country should become a republic and stop having the British monarch as its head of state, said that Australia had "deep affection" for the queen but that she should be Australia's final monarch.
