Aside from the odd heckle from Aboriginal senators in Parliament House, it can be confirmed that King Charles and Queen-Consort Camilla are enjoying their time in Australia.
Throughout their brief tour, the royal couple have been greeted by cheering crowds of weirdos and immigrants at several landmark locations in both Sydney in Canberra.
They have seen a range of different sights, and tried a number of different cuisines that are not usually on offer in the UK.
Australia’s first Prime Minister with a surname that doesn’t sound like a Jane Austen character, Anthony Albanese, has added to this multicultural experience for the King of England and his wife.
But it seems that that King Charles has more in common with the Italian-Australian Labor Prime Minister than he once thought.
During a visit the to Australian War Memorial, the reigning monarch and the Australian leader discovered they’d had fairly similar upbringings.
When discussing how much the Australian War Memorial cost to maintain, the King of England was blown away to realise that it is one of the most costly museums in the Commonwealth. And further more than the director of the Australian War Memorial is the highest paid public servant in the country.
“Really!?” said His Majesty.
“A museum dedicated to war, that costs more to run than Parliament House. What an interesting country you have”
Albanese just nodded, as the King grappled with this weird antipodean culture that exists in his backwater colony of 28 million.
“I mean, I stay out of finances. All I know is, I was very lucky to have my education paid for by the tax-payer.”
The Australian Prime Minister agreed, although he did forget to mention that his own education was paid for by those buck-toothed Catholics in Rome.
“Not to mention the palace. Or Windsor Castle” said the King.
“I was so lucky that England has the system in place that it does”
Albanese can relate.
“Yes of course, the tax-payer helped my family with housing too” said the PM.
“Oh so there we have it” said the King.
“We both grew up in public housing. Where were you?”
“Oh in Sydney’s inner-city” says the PM.
“It’s not really that common anymore. But I got lucky”
The King begins reminiscing on his idyllic childhood spent suckling at the government’s teet as the son of welfare-bludgers in Windsor Castle.
“I miss those Area tings” said the King.
“Eshay” said Albo
