King Charles and Queen Camilla face embarrassing snubs from senior Australian politicians ahead of their tour of the country.

As the couple prepare to begin their nine-day visit Down Under on Friday, each state premier has declined invitations to attend the royal reception in Canberra on October 21, reports suggest.

The King is scheduled to deliver a speech at the event to honor Australians for their achievements in arts, culture, sport and health.

Victorian Premier Jacinta Allan was the latest actor to snub the invitation, while other politicians offered excuses such as “scheduling conflicts” and “campaign duties.”

Meanwhile, Zara Tindall’s husband revealed the truth about marrying into the royal family, describing the experience as “very easy”.

This is what Mike Tindall, 45, revealed in his new book, The good, the bad and rugbyfollowing Meghan Markle’s claims that marrying into the company was far from plain sailing.

“Believe it or not, marrying into the royal family was very easy for me,” he wrote. “They were always nice to me.”

Meghan, 43, cited many of the issues that come with royal life, including press intrusion, when she and Prince Harry chose to step down as working members of the royal family in 2020.

Prince William today showed off his “amazing arm” as he tried out for American football at an NFL event to support disadvantaged young people in the UK.

Youngsters shouted “what a shot” as the heir to the throne, 42, showed off his skills at the event at Kennington Park Hockey Ground, south London, this morning.

Reacting to William’s role as midfielder in the non-contact version of American football, Phoebe Scheckter, captain of the UK women’s soccer team, said: “Honestly, Prince William was fantastic – his arm strength is unbelievable, when he let that first ball tear me apart.” I couldn’t believe it.

“Honestly, I think if we had better receivers he could have had a lot more touchdowns, but his ability to control the offense, go into a completely unfamiliar zone, call the tempo, receive the ball, make the pass, point one, make those decisions.” “Tactical – it was extraordinary.”

The event is hosted by the NFL UK Foundation, which gives young people aged 12-20 opportunities to try out the sport.

Anti-monarchy group welcomes Charles and Camilla on ‘farewell tour’

An Australian anti-monarchy group has welcomed the imminent visit of King Charles and Queen Camilla to the country, but claimed it should be their “farewell tour”.

The Australian Republican Movement (ARM) said the visit, which begins on Friday (October 18), will give the British royal family “an opportunity to bid farewell to the monarchy.”

“Welcome to the Monarchy The Farewell Oz tour,” ARM co-president Esther Anatolytis said on Twitter/X.

“It is time to bid farewell to the monarchy. This week’s visit is a valuable opportunity for us to ask the question we have been asking for many years: Why does Australia still have a king?

“Does it make sense for our head of state to inherit this position by birth and not here for Australians full time?

“By all means, let’s welcome Charles and Camilla to Australia, but let’s see this as the last visit of a sitting monarch. It has a lot of meaning.”
