What you’ve missed during King Charles III and Queen Camilla’s royal tour of Australia

·

King Charles III and Queen Camilla touched down in Sydney on Friday night for their first full day of engagements during their royal tour. The atmosphere was lively, with chargrilled asparagus being served and an hourglass presented to the New South Wales parliament.

On Sunday, the day’s events kicked off with a church service where the royal couple interacted with Sunday school children and were warmly welcomed by members of the public.

King Charles then proceeded on his own to deliver a speech at the NSW parliament before meeting the Governor-General at Admiralty House, located along the picturesque banks of Sydney Harbour.

As King Charles and Queen Camilla arrived for a service at St Thomas’ Anglican Church, they were greeted by a crowd of hundreds, including many children who waited eagerly with an array of gifts. The Queen donned a pale green dress and straw hat, adding to the festive atmosphere.

Among the crowd, Helen Hetrelezis and her brothers, who arrived almost three hours before the church service allowing them to talk to Queen Camilla.

“We spoke about her visit. I asked the Queen about her stay, she said she was enjoying Sydney very much,” Ms Hetrelezis said.
