King Charles and Queen Camilla joined a church congregation in Sydney for yesterday’s service on the first day of engagements during their tour of Australia.
It is the King’s first visit to Australia since he became the country’s head of state in September 2022 and is the biggest trip the King has made since starting cancer treatment in February.
Their six-day visit to the Commonwealth country will involve meeting political and community leaders, and also celebrating the nation’s people, culture, and heritage.
They were joined by members of St Thomas’ Anglican Church in northern Sydney for the service, which was officiated by the city’s archbishop, the Most Reverend Kanishka Raffel.
The royal couple met some well-wishers after a crowd of a couple of hundred people – many who had queued since early morning – were allowed into the church precinct to speak to the royal couple after the service, reports the BBC.
For most it was a snatched hello and a chance to hand over flowers or take a photo
