Britain's King Charles, who visited Australia, has faced opposition. King Charles had arrived to deliver a speech in the Australian Parliament on Monday. During this, a native senator raised slogans against him and said that you are not our king.
Senator Lydia Thorpe said, you are a murderer, you have massacred our people. During this time, Lydia asked King Charles to return their lands, ancestors' bones, and artifacts to the natives.
Lydia shouted slogans saying that the British Empire had ruined their land.
Lydia had arrived in traditional clothes

Lydia, who came out in protest against King Charles, reached Parliament wearing traditional clothes. After sloganeering, security officials took them out of Parliament. Speaking to the media outside Parliament, Lydia said that as long as the King remains the formal head of Australia, we will continue to oppose the British Empire.
He said that the king of any other country cannot give us orders. Lydia Thorpe is an independent senator from the state of Victoria, Australia. She is known for being outspoken against the British monarchy.
While taking oath as a senator in 2022, he addressed the British King as “Colonial Majesty”. After this he was asked to take oath again.
King Charles is on his first overseas tour since recovering from cancer. His wife Queen Camilla has also accompanied him on this tour.
King Charles has arrived in Australia for the first time since his coronation in 2022.
Got independence in 1986, but monarchy remains intact
Australia got independence in 1986. But there is still a constitutional monarchy there. In Australia the British monarch is formally considered the head of state. However, in a 1999 referendum the Australian public rejected the proposal to make Australia a Dominion State of the British Empire.
Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II in 2022, the debate over severing ties with the British Empire has gained momentum again.
