Breaking News: King Charles Heckled by Senator During Royal Engagement Overseas…see more

King Charles III was met with a sharp response during his most recent appearance.

Shortly after the British royal addressed Australia’s Parliament House in a ceremony held at the capital of Canberra, a senator from Victoria interrupted the meeting’s proceedings to protest the king.

After being escorted out, Thorpe told the outlet that she had wanted to send a “clear message” to the monarch.

King George arrived with his wife, Queen Camilla, and was greeted with a traditional welcome leading up to the events of the day, which included a brief discussion of Australia’s history. “To be sovereign you have to be of the land,” she added. “He is not of this land.”

Thorpe continued, speaking of how other former British colonies were able to strike a peace treaty with its Indigenous populations, but Australia was not one of them.

“We can lead that, we can do that, we can be a better country – but we cannot bow to the coloniser, whose ancestors he spoke about in there are responsible for mass murder and mass genocide,” she told BBC reporters.
