The redhead is the current Australian Prime Minister. Her name is Julia Gillard and she made the news lately because Queen Elizabeth II is visiting. HRH is our head of state....we're still not a republic. The republican movement has been around for a long time but never gotten the majority vote everytime its gone to a referendum. Julia Gillard is pro-republic and when she greeted HRH, she didn't curtsey to the Queen. Made the newspaper and internet news, even in the US.
