Truman...also wanted to know whether the stipulation regarding “His Majesty” was a deal breaker

According to Bergamini, the one player that was unhappy with the deal was Australia, which wanted Hirohito treated as a war criminal and the Imperial system torn down to ensure Japan would never again use it as a means for promoting aggression. The Aussies were mollified by the proviso that Hirohito would essentially be controlled by SCAP, with a nudge from Atlee that they should unite with the rest of the Commonwealth nations--but all this took until the 12th get settled.

Interesting.

The Aussies sure had good reasons for feeling that way, that’s for sure.
