King Charles III and Queen Camilla have arrived in Sydney on the first Australian visit by a reigning monarch in more than a decade.
King Charles III and Queen Camilla arrived in Sydney on Friday for the first Australian visit by a reigning monarch in more than a decade, a trip that has rekindled debate about the nation’s constitutional links to Britain. The Sydney Opera House's iconic sails were illuminated with images of previous royal visits to welcome the couple, whose six-day trip will be brief by royal standards. Charles, 75, is being treated for cancer, which led to the scaled-down itinerary.
“Something like the royal visit brings the king closer in the minds of people, because we have an absent monarchy,” Benwell told the AP. “The visit by the king brings it home that Australia is a constitutional monarchy and it has a king,” he added. Benwell is critical of the premiers of all six states, who have declined invitations to attend a reception for Charles in the national capital Canberra.
