CANBERRA — King Charles and Queen Camilla flew to Australia's capital Canberra on Monday (Oct 21) where crowds gathered for their first visit to the city in almost a decade.

Charles' 16th official visit to Australia, where he attended school for six months as a teenager in 1966, is also his first major foreign trip since being diagnosed with cancer in February.

The royal couple will first visit the Australian War Memorial and place a floral tribute at the Tomb of the Unknown Australian Soldier before meeting members of the public. They last visited the memorial in 2015.

Hundreds waited in the bright sun for the royals, including Georgia Bray, who said she had come despite being a republican.
