Charles meets Australia’s republican PM Malcolm Turnbull

The prince and the prime minister are due to hold talks later but first attended a national Remembrance Day ceremony at the Australian War Memorial joining hundreds of guests commemorating the Commonwealth country’s war dead.

At the Australian War Memorial in the capital, the royals mingled with the crowd and laid wreaths at a solemn Remembrance Day service.

Sky News states that the Governor-General Peter Cosgrove and Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull are among the dignitaries who attended.

Prince Charles, Prince of Wales and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall visit Seppeltsfield Winery on November 10, 2015 in Barossa Valley, Australia.

He said: “If Charles becomes king of the United Kingdom – and I have no doubt that he will be – unless our constitution has been changed, he will become the king of Australia”.

Prince Charles is set to celebrate his birthday with a beach-side barbecue in Australia.

Prince Charles, in a senior moment, admits he does not remember the dance.

That wasn’t Mr Turnbull, although he told reporters beforehand that Prince Charles could well become King of Australia.

Next Price Charles and the Duchess drive up Anzac Parade and walk onto the parade ground.

Then at Government House, Prince Charles met representatives of the wounded soldier support group Soldier On plus wounded veterans including former soldier Michael Lyddiard and foreign affairs official David Savage, both wounded by insurgent improvised explosive devices in Afghanistan.

“I am happy person… and as I said, there’s never been a better time to be an Australian”, he said.

He was chairman of the Australian Republican Movement for seven years and described his own Liberal leader, John Howard, as “the prime minister who broke this nation’s heart” when a referendum to ditch the monarchy failed in 1999.

The six-day royal visit follows a move to remove knights and dames from Australia’s national honours system, which the ardent republican leader said were “not appropriate” in the modern age. Later Camilla will visit a truffle farm while Charles inspects the National Museum before reuniting at the National Arboretum to plant a tree.
