Very strong relations exist between Australia and the United Kingdom, marked by historical, cultural, institutional, extensive people-to-people links, aligned security interests, sporting tournaments (notably the Ashes), and significant trade and investment co-operation. As Commonwealth realms, the two countries are in personal union, with the head of state of both being Charles III.
