The six-day trip to Canberra and Sydney will be Charles's first to Australia as its head of state, and comes as he continues to receive treatment for cancer. Australia's governor-general Sam Mostyn and her husband Simeon Beckett greeted the royal couple alongside prime minister Anthony Albanese, his fiancee Jodie Haydon and other dignitaries.
Just a few hours before the plane landed, the royal couple posted a video montage of previous royal tours of Australia alongside words of praise for the Commonwealth country. The couple said: "Ahead of our first visit to Australia as King and Queen, we are really looking forward to returning to this beautiful country to celebrate the extraordinarily rich cultures and communities that make it so special. See you there! Charles R & Camilla R."
