King Charles III was heckled by an Australian senator just moments after he finished a speech at the country’s Parliament House. Indigenous independent senator, Lidia Thorpe, strode up the aisle shouting that she did not accept his sovereignty.
King Charles III was heckled in Australia on Monday by an Indigenous senator who shouted “you’re not my king” as the British monarch finished a speech at Parliament House. The king, who is the first reigning British monarch to visit Australia in 13 years, was addressing lawmakers and other dignitaries in the Great Hall of Parliament House in Canberra, the Australian capital.
In a 1999 referendum, a majority of Australians voted against transitioning to a republic. Charles has said it is up to Australians whether they want to break ties with the monarchy. Though the debate has been revived following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022, the nation is still ambivalent about becoming a republic.
