King Charles meets Australia's Governor-General

King Charles met Australia's Governor-General, Samantha Mostyn, and the governor of New South Wales, Margaret Beazley, on the first day of formal engagements on his royal tour.

His first official public appearance was a Sunday morning service at St Thomas' Anglican Church, a stone edifice built as a place of worship for British colonial settlers.

A few hundred people gathered around the building, cheering, holding flowers and waving flags. The sovereign arrived in Sydney late on Friday evening, but had kept a low profile as he balances cancer recovery with royal duties.
