King Charles and Camilla have been photographed taking a walk together on their first morning in Australia.
The royal couple were seen wandering the grounds of Admiralty House in Kirribilli, on Sydney’s north shore, at around 10am this morning, on the first day of their five-day visit to Australia.
Her Majesty cut a casual yet elegant figure in a blue open-necked shirt paired with a beige sports jacket and cream chinos, while Camilla opted for a dark blue sundress and matching cardigan.
The Queen looked effortlessly elegant as she admired the gardens behind a pair of sunglasses, while Charles squinted in the bright morning sun.
The pair were seen chatting with the King’s bearded personal bodyguard and other members of his security team.
It is the first time they have been seen since arriving on Friday night, where they were greeted by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and his partner Jodie Haydon in the pouring rain.
Saturday has been scheduled as a rest day to allow the couple to recover from the long trip, but there is feverish speculation that they could appear at the Everest event at Royal Randwick.
King Charles and Camilla took a walk together on their first morning in Australia
The royal couple were seen wandering the lawns of Admiralty House in Kirribilli, on Sydney’s north shore, at around 10am this morning.
The Queen looked effortlessly elegant as she admired the gardens behind a pair of sunglasses, while Charles squinted in the bright morning sun.
The couple are staying at Admiralty House, the official residence of Australia’s Governor-General, which has panoramic views across Sydney Harbor to the Opera House.
On Friday night, the Opera House’s sails were illuminated with images of previous royal visits to Australia.
The lighting of the monument was organized even though the New South Wales (NSW) government had ruled out a similar proposal for the Coronation due to cost.
It comes almost 18 months after NSW Premier Chris Minns abandoned plans set by the former coalition state government to light the site by May 2023.
This time, the government allowed the screening, saying it “consists of a four-minute photographic montage of Their Majesties’ previous visits to the state and nation.”
The royal visit is the couple’s first trip to Australia since Charles became king in 2022.
Her Majesty cut a casual yet elegant figure in a blue open-necked shirt paired with a beige sports jacket and cream-colored chinos.
Camilla opted for a dark blue summer dress and matching cardigan.
