King Charles has kept a lower profile as he works on royal duties while recovering from a life-changing treatment eight months after, and the journey to Australia is his first significant international trip since becoming ruler.
On a Sunday morning, King Charles III made his first public appearance at St. Thomas ‘ Anglican Church in northeastern Sydney. The English monarch made their nine-day journey of Australia in Sydney late on Friday night.
Eventually, Charles will make a speech to the state legislature of New South Wales and make a series of secret gatherings with senior officials at the Admiralty House.
When the prince arrives in Canberra with Queen Camilla for the busiest part of his refined plan, royal watchers will have another chance to see him on Monday.
In the past, visiting English monarchs would conduct extended trips, drawing huge crowds of excited, flag-waving followers. However, due to the queen’s delicate health, much of the common splendour and beauty has been scaled back this time.
Large public meetings may be limited, apart from a group picnic in Sydney and an event at Sydney’s iconic theater house.
On Sunday, a smaller group of protesters gathered near a temple, calling for Australia to “decolonise”.
The enthusiasm for continuing the king is significantly from what it was in 2011 when thousands of people watched Charles ‘ mother, Queen Elizabeth II, wave to the masses.
