Britain’s King Charles III arrived in Sydney under rainy skies Friday, launching his first major overseas tour since revealing his cancer diagnosis earlier this year. The 75-year-old monarch and Queen Camilla were welcomed by cheering crowds and children offering floral posies – a colorful start to their nine-day journey across Australia and Samoa.
Why it matters: This marks Charles’ first visit to an overseas realm as sovereign, blending diplomacy, cultural celebration, and climate advocacy. The tour includes meetings with Australian PM Anthony Albanese, a public BBQ (yes, royals eat snags too! ), and visits to iconic sites like the Sydney Opera House.
Royal tweet alert: Before landing, the palace shared on X: \"We can’t wait to celebrate Australia’s vibrant cultures and communities!\" – already racking up 250K+ likes from #RoyalTok enthusiasts.
Climate in focus: With wildfires and reef conservation topping Australia’s environmental agenda, Charles plans to spotlight sustainability efforts during his stay. Will this tour boost global climate diplomacy? Stay tuned!
