We know that the Royals are spending most of their time in Sydney this trip, but today
00:07
is Canberra's day.
00:09
Their first stop will be here at the War Memorial.
00:11
We've already seen many people line up, as you can see behind me.
00:15
Many people have already lined up, ready to get a chance to greet the Royals as they come
00:21
here to the War Memorial today.
00:24
One of them is right with us right now.
00:26
You've dressed up ready for the Royals today.
00:29
Why are you so excited?
00:30
Well, I'm wrapped to hopefully see the King and Queen.
00:33
I've travelled up from Melbourne to see this Royal tour, unfortunately he's not coming
00:37
to Melbourne due to his health.
00:39
It will be a great opportunity to welcome the King to Australia and make sure he feels
00:43
very much at home and welcomed.
00:44
And have you seen any Royals before here in Australia?
00:47
I did see Harry and Meghan when they came about six years ago, and was lucky to actually
00:52
meet King Charles yesterday in Sydney, so hopefully I get to see him again.
00:56
Wonderful, thank you.
00:57
We've also got an alpaca here.
01:00
What's the story behind the alpaca here?
01:03
This is Hefner the alpaca, and look, he's met a few famous people over his time, so
01:06
he's met the Governor-General, Tones and I, Jimmy Barnes, and we spend a lot of time in
01:10
the community in Canberra, so we thought why not, we'll come and see royalty today.
01:15
And it's been pretty popular with getting photos from people here in the line today.
01:18
Are you hoping you might be able to get in and see the King?
01:21
Yeah, well fingers crossed, we'll see how we go, but look, we've made a lot of people
01:25
happy in the line up today, so job done for today.
01:28
Very good, thank you.
01:29
Yeah, so certainly a lot of people have already come out, ready to be let in here at the War
01:34
Memorial.
01:36
From the War Memorial, the Royals will be making their way over to Parliament House
01:40
on the other side of Canberra.
01:43
From there, there's a very tight and packed schedule in the afternoon.
01:47
There's plans to go to Government House, as well as plans to attend the National Botanical
01:53
Gardens.
01:54
King Charles also has a visit to the CSIRO plan to talk to scientists who are researching
02:00
the impact of bushfires, while Queen Camilla is also going to be meeting with some domestic
02:05
violence advocates, as well as a charity organisation.
02:10
Plenty on offer for the Royals here in Canberra today, and plenty of excited Canberrans and
02:15
also from right around the country here in the capital today.
