It's common knowledge that monarchs are not permitted to enter the House of Commons at Westminster ... but are Monarchs permitted to enter the Canada's House of Commons, Australia's House of Commons, or New Zealand's House of Commons???

She has twice opened the Canadian parliament and did so in the Senate. I would assume that th same principle apply in these countries as at the mother of all parliaments, but NZ only has one chamber so if she were to open parliament there she wd have to ener the Commons.

No... they are all part of the Commonwealth.... and the Queen is still head of state there and hence the Monarch for those countries.

She's not technically Head of these places, however, THEY CONSIDER HER SO, SYMBOLICALLY. SO, NO, ITS NOT THAT SHE'S NOT ALLOWED, SHE JUST NEVER WOULD! EVER!

It would be like someone entering a Most Holy in a Temple, why would you when you would FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE by a lifetime of training?

They have to have permission to do so, as they have in Britain.
