Britain's King Charles and Queen Camilla are set to kick off their official tour of Australia with a visit to St Thomas' Anglican church in North Sydney this Sunday. Their arrival will be marked by a service and interactions with local residents and the Archbishop of Sydney, Kanishka Raffel.

This occasion offers the Australian public its first chance to meet the royal couple since their arrival in Sydney on Friday night. For King Charles, this visit is not just his inaugural trip to an overseas realm as the reigning monarch, but also his first major international journey following his cancer diagnosis.

In a gesture of honor, Australia elevated Charles to the honorary ranks of admiral of the navy, field marshal of the army, and marshal of the air force. This ceremonial appointment precedes a fleet review scheduled to take place on Sydney Harbour in the coming week.
