The King and Queen are in Australia for his first overseas visit since becoming monarch. But as they met Australian parliamentarians in Canberra, it wasn't exactly the reception they were expecting, let alone hoping for.

King Charles, visiting the former British colony where he retains the ceremonial title of head of state, was shouted at by an Indigenous Australian senator.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanes, who wants the country to become a republic with an Australian head of state, welcomed Charles on his first visit as king.
