Within hours of stepping off the plane, the Australian media declared that Prince William had charmed Sydney.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Prince<\/a>The shrewd choice of visiting an aboriginal community centre in Redfern – a deprived and sometimes dangerous part of Sydney – had melted the hearts of locals and helped the city fall in love with “Prince Charming”, the papers said.<\/p>\n

Reports said the move was a resounding success, and could go a long way to extending the lifespan of Australia’s links to the British monarchy.<\/p>\n

The Australian newspaper declared the Prince had “won the hearts of Australians” with his relaxed, unpretentious and endearing manner.<\/p>\n

During his tour of the Block in Redfern, the Prince “delighted” local children, with many parents declaring he “has his mother’s heart”, the paper said.<\/p>\n

Thousands turned out to catch a glimpse of the future king, including one Aboriginal man who climbed a tree to get a good look at the Prince, and a group of young men sporting “I love Willy” t-shirts.<\/p>\n

The Sydney Daily Telegraph predicted the visit would cement Australia’s deep admiration for the Windsors and put the republican issue on the back burner.<\/p>\n

“William is a powerful weapon for the Royals in Australia”, Paul Colgan wrote.<\/p>\n

“You’d be happy to have a beer with him. He has a sense of humour, applies himself to his work, loves sport and enjoys a night on the turps with his brother and his mates.”<\/p>\n

Those qualities could slow the republican movement, he said.<\/p>\n

“Personal popularity may not be enough to derail Australia’s march towards republicanism, but it will help.”<\/p>\nError, group does not exist! Check your syntax! (ID: 12)<\/span>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
