I don't think the Queen instructed the Governor General to do that. He made the decision. I'm old enough to remember it and remember a statement from the palace saying something like "The Queen is watching events in Australia with interest" but I don't think she took an active part. I quick search reveals this. I don't know this site but if true then some letters seem to confirm the above. She told the GG to obey the Australian Constitution. https://constitution-unit.com/2020/07/16/palace-letters-show-the-queen-did-not-advise-or-encourage-kerr-to-sack-whitlam-government/ https://constitution-unit.com/2020/07/16/palace-letters-show...
