Royal Welcome: King Charles Meets Hephner the Alpaca

King Charles and Queen Camilla were warmly greeted in Canberra by Hephner, a nine-year-old alpaca. During this significant visit, Charles addressed climate concerns and was met with both admiration and protest. This trip marks Charles' first major foreign visit since his cancer diagnosis.

CANBERRA - Amidst a crowd of well-wishers at the Australian War Memorial, a standout attendee was Hephner the alpaca, dressed impeccably in a suit with a crown.

The royal couple, on their 16th official visit to Australia, were received with enthusiasm, moments of levity, and diverse expressions, including protest.

The visit underscores significant diplomatic engagements ahead of their journey to Samoa, continuing their Commonwealth tour.
