There have been 2 monarchs of Westralia (see the Monarchy of Westralia). A new Realm of Westralia was formed on 8 August 1865, and was a constituent country of the Empire of Greater Britannia under Queen Victoria On 1 August 1869, a Declaration of Independence was issued proclaiming the Kingdom of Westralia, abolishing the Realm and removing Victoria from the throne. Between 1 August and 1 February 1870, Westralia's throne remained vacant, and it was de facto a republic until Prince Alexander of the Netherlands, third son of William III of the Netherlands, accepted the Westralian Government's invitation to become its new monarch. Thus, he was enthroned as Alexander I, becoming the country's second monarch — its first since the Declaration of Independence.
