Here’s Prince Charles being guided along by Janine Kirk, chief executive of The Prince’s Charities Australia, in Sydney on Thursday.

Earlier this week, the Duchess of Cornwall was photographed jokingly brandishing a knife at her husband as she told him to “behave himself” during a visit to a winery near Tanunda in South Australia.
Braving heavy rain Camilla and the Australian prime minister’s wife Lucy Turnbull were also treated to a truffle hunting demonstration.
“The opportunities for constitutional change are somewhat more challenging than the opportunities for strong economic growth”, Turnbull added.
“I’ve met Prince Charles before, he’s a very nice person”, Shorten said.
The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall have come face to face with the world’s oldest continually operating mounted police force on the third day of their Australian tour.
Parent Herald recently reported that Queen Elizabeth’s first choices were Prince William and Kate Middleton, but her advisors think that both still need more time and training to assume the throne.
The prince and prime minister were joined by their aides for the meeting that lasted around 30 minutes.
The emotional centerpiece of Charles’s visit was the ceremonies of Remembrance Day, November 11. After the service Charles and Camilla will lay a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and place a poppy on the roll of honour before signing the visitors’ book.
Luckily, flags handed out by the Australian Monarchist League were plastic.
But the rise of Mr Turnbull appears to have invigorated the nation’s republicans.
Turnbull in the past has accused Charles of unashamed adultery through his relationship with Camilla and said that it would be hard to see Australia ever accepting him as their King.
A poll was also announced on Wednesday and approved by the Australian Republican Movement found that 51 percent of citizens fancied an Australian head of state to King Charles.
According to The West Australian, Prince Charles spent time reading by the pool and “protecting the royal cranium with one of a number of good old Aussie floppy hats he was offered”.

Charles, needless to say, does not.
