Draft:Australian royalty

Australian royalty may refer to Australian citizens who are members of royal families, through birth, naturalization or marriage; or Australian families that are given the epithet or moniker as Australian royalty. It has also been used to refer to the descendants of the First Fleet, or descendants of those sentenced to Transportation. Additionally, Australia is a monarchy, so members of the Australian monarchy are Australian royalty.
