King Charles and Queen Camilla greet Sydneysiders after attending church service

King Charles and Queen Camilla have greeted Sydneysiders as they kicked off their first day of official engagements in Australia.

Their Majesties arrived at the North Sydney church for a 10.30am service to the cheers of the crowd, many of whom were waving the Australian flag.

Following the church service, the King will attend the Parliament of New South Wales.

Our egotistical state premiers who refused to meet the King are extremely rude & should reflect on their choices, as they clearly misread the reaction of the public

Yay so happy to see the lovely Aussie’s out to greet the King and his wife ❤

The Premiers may be Republicans but they should realise that Australia in not Republic and the King is head of Australia and shout be respected as such .

I am so happy to see this warm reception for KC3 and the Queen Consort. Sorry 6 leaders decided to snub, but this is heartwarming to see and much deserved. The King is a good man, very gracious, has genuine concern and compassion for all. This is good news.

God bless the people of Australia for their gracious and warm welcome to their Majesties. The King has always loved Australia and her people. Their Majesties will be flying 30, OOO miles for their visit which says so much about their attention and devotion to duty. God bless the King and Queen.

Great respect shown by the Australian people towards His Majesty King Charles III and Her Majesty Queen Camilla ❤🇦🇺❤ 👏👏👏 Well done Aussies, we know how to treat Royalty 👑 Shame the so-called 'representatives' of the people did NOT behave with the same respect for our reigning monarch... the people are giving His Majesty a resounding warm Aussie Welcome, showing their love and support. Just fabulous ❤️❤❤🙏
