It appears things have not been smooth-sailing for the royal family as they come to face with another embarrassing incident after King Charles gets snubbed by an angry protestor during his Australian tour.
The cancer-stricken monarch, who is on his first tour to Down Under as the reigning King, was heckled by Senator Lidia Thorpe, who accused him of atrocities committed on the land and yelled, “Not my king” at the Parliament in Canberra.
As the King and his wife Queen Camilla did a meet-a-greet with the public at Sydney Opera House on Tuesday to conclude their Australia visit, the royal was met with another hiccup.
Just a few blocks away, Queen Victoria’s famous statue, an ancestor of Charles, was vandalised by red paint. The person/s behind the incident are not yet identified but police surrounded the statue following the event.
The statue depicts Queen Victoria upon a bronze throne and was installed outside the Queen Victoria Building in the 1980s during restoration work.
The news also comes after King Charles and Queen Camilla’s visit to parliament in Canberra came to a rude halt, as Senator Lidia Thorpe began her chants of “Not my king.”
“You committed genocide against our people. Give us our land back, give us back what you stole from us. Our bones, our skulls, our babies, our people,” she yelled, as police dragged her out.
Following the incident, a Palace insider revealed that the monarch was “unruffled” by Thope’s remarks and was determined to “not let it overshadow what has otherwise been a wonderful day.”
