"You Are Not My King"
During a formal reception for King Charles III and Queen Camilla at Australia's Parliament House, Indigenous Senator Lidia Thorpe caused a stir by confronting the King with a passionate outcry. Dressed in a traditional fur cloak, Thorpe accused the British monarchy of committing genocide against her people and demanded the return of stolen land, bones, and babies. Shouting "This is not your land, you are not my king," she called for a treaty with Australia's First Nations, one of the few Commonwealth countries without such an agreement. The royals reportedly laughed off her demands, while Prime Minister Anthony Albanese welcomed them warmly, sparking debate over the nation's colonial history.
