King Charles faced protests during his visit to Australia, with Aboriginal Senator Lidia Thorpe confronting him in Parliament, declaring, “This is not your land. You are not our King.” Security removed her from the chamber as the King continued his conversation with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. Earlier, the King and Queen Camilla were welcomed to Canberra by Ngunnawal Elder Aunty Serena Williams, who urged the King to apologize for colonial wrongs. Despite acknowledging Australia’s journey towards reconciliation, the King stopped short of issuing the apology many Indigenous leaders hoped to hear.
