I think the Aussies were very disrespectful of the Royals. However, I do believe that no real harm was meant. As was said, they did not expect to get through. The nurse's suicide turned something stupid, poorly thought out and seriously disrespectful into something tragic. It was one of those things where something meant to be funny turned into something far more serious. Sadly, things like that do happen to the Royals, to the common man.
