King Charles was accused of "genocide" by an Indigenous senator at Australia's Parliament House on Monday, moments after he delivered a speech in which he paid his "respects to the traditional owners of the lands".

CANBERRA, Australia — British King Charles III has been berated by an Australian senator in Canberra, who accused the monarchy of “genocide” against her nation’s indigenous people and declared: “You are not my king.”

Photo portraits of King Charles are available in Australia under a little-known government policy that says every citizen there can request, and receive, a portrait of their monarch.
