Britain's King Charles III is paying an official royal visit to Australia, his first big trip since he started undergoing cancer treatment. But while the official reception for the reigning U.K. monarch — the first to visit Australia in more than a decade — has been cordial, it was not all glad-handing and smiles on Monday.
Even before he arrived, Charles' five-day visit to the former British colony had reignited a fierce debate about why any Briton should inherit the right to be the official head of state of the country on the other side of the globe. On Monday, Charles was loudly and publicly heckled by an Australian lawmaker who accused him of complicity in a colonial era genocide of Australia's Indigenous people.
After he delivered a speech to Australian lawmakers at Parliament House in Canberra, independent Senator Lidia Thorpe, a vocal advocate for Indigenous rights, approached the king and shouted: "This is not your country."
