King Charles has offered New South Wales Parliament with an hourglass to mark the “passing of time” of his relationship with Australia, on his most up-to-date trip.
The King first visited Australia in 1966 when he spent six months at a Victoria boarding college, and this trip marks his seventeenth trip to the nation, the place he has been head of state since 2022.
The royal joked that the present was a “speech timer” to sit down in the chamber and “bear witness to the legislative council’s next chapter.”
He ended the speech by acknowledging the “great joy of visiting Australia for the first time as sovereign.”
