King Charles and Queen Camilla started their tour Down Under with a warm church visit in Sydney. Dressed to impress, Charles slayed with a pale grey suit while Camilla gagged fans in a pale green ensemble and straw hat. Greeted by crowds waving Australian flags, the royal couple even stopped to chat with school kids, who were happy to meet the King and Queen.

The dynamic duo was welcomed at the St Thomas’ Anglican Church with all the feelings! Camilla received a bouquet from the young fans, and the royal couple joined a full service with 450 attendees. After Sydney, they’re heading to Canberra, where they’ll visit the Australian War Memorial before returning for more community events.
King Charles: “What a great joy it is to come to Australia for the first time as Sovereign and to renew a love of this country and its people which I have cherished for so long. Thank you, thank you for making me feel so very welcome.” #RoyalVisitAustralia pic.twitter.com/bQLasCqNPm

This trip is special for King Charles lll, as it marks his first overseas tour since his cancer diagnosis and the first time a reigning king has set foot on Aussie soil. Previously, the King’s mother, the late Queen Elizabeth, visited the country about 16 times. With plans to wrap things up at the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in Samoa, this royal tour promises to be unforgettable.
