UK Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer praised King Charles for his work as a "fantastic ambassador" after the monarch was heckled by Australian senator Lidia Thorpe. During the King’s address to the Australian parliament, Thorpe accused him of committing "genocide" against indigenous people, demanding land and justice. Starmer defended the King, highlighting his dedication to public service despite health challenges. Thorpe, an Aboriginal senator, later defended her actions, stating that the King is "not our King" and called for a treaty. The King is currently on his first tour of Australia as monarch.
