How is it not "the full story"? The Australian Government always asserted that the PHRP was an integral part of Australia, which it was, as Prince Graeme seems now to have recognised. (And, in fact, the Australian Constitution does not have provisions allowing the Australian Government to allow/recognise cession from the Commonwealth.)
But as I said, my interest lies in The Queen acknowledging the existence of the PHRP and, indeed, wishing its 'Government' well on the occasion of the anniversary of it formation, ie, its claiming to have removed itself from the Commonwealth of Australia, (of which HM was the Queen) without, apparently, consulting her own (Australian) Government.
