Queen Camilla’s troubles revealed after her separate journey from King Charles

Queen Camilla has spoken of feeling the effects of jet lag after she and King Charles traveled separately to Australia during their nine-day royal tour.

The royal couple arrived in Sydney on Friday night and the Queen answered “sort of” when asked by Ellie Mantle, wife of Provost Michael Mantle, whether she was recovered from the long flight.

While King Charles, a self-proclaimed “workaholic”, left London on October 17 after fulfilling several royal duties, Queen Camilla is famously afraid of flying and prefers to make more frequent stops during long journeys.

Despite their different travel schedules, the royal couple reunited and attended Sunday morning service at St Thomas’ Anglican Church in North Sydney after a day of rest on Saturday to recuperate for their commitments.

During their first full day of royal duties in Australia, King Charles and Queen Camilla faced both support and opposition from the public.

Supporters of the monarchy greeted the Queen with bouquets of flowers, while Republican activists made their voices heard holding banners with messages like “An Empire Built on Genocide” and “Decolonization.”

The royal couple were also given thoughtful gifts for their grandchildren, including a rugby ball, a cricket ball and a stuffed koala, as Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis enjoy a two-week break from school in the UK. .

After attending the church service, King Charles briefly visited the New South Wales Parliament House for lunch, where he presented the crowd with an hourglass before leaving in less than ten minutes, demonstrating the frenetic nature of their royal engagements.

King Charles expressed his deep affection for Australia during a speech marking his first visit to the country as sovereign.

“As the sands of time favor brevity, it remains for me to say what a great joy it is to come to Australia for the first time as Sovereign, and to renew the love for this country and its people which I have so cherished. long,” he said, emphasizing the importance of this event.
