·

As King Charles III and Queen Camilla wrapped up their visit to Australia, the King made a notable fashion statement by donning a tie adorned with the Greek flag, underscoring his deep Philhellenic sentiments.

The King proudly sported the blue and white tie as the royal couple ascended the stairs on their RAAF plane on Wednesday, October 23, turning around at the top for a final farewell to Sydney.

This choice served as a tribute to the Greek Australian community, which numbers over 420,000 people according to the 2021 census.

The royals have now entered the final leg of their Oceania royal visit as they touched down in Samoa.
