Julie Bishop reveals what she really thinks of King Charles

Retired Australian politician Julie Bishop has described the newly crowned King Charles III as an inspiration.

The 66-year-old former foreign minister, who appeared on a social media Q&A session for Marie Claire Australia, spoke openly about her warm feelings for the monarch.

“I admire King Charles,” Ms. Bishop said in the video, adding: “I think he’s been an extremely focused king who waited.”

Ms. Bishop can be seen answering questions for the video wearing a white shirt and black and white houndstooth trousers.

Elsewhere in the chat, the high-profile public figure revealed that a trip to New York for the Met Gala was her number one “ultimate travel bucket list.”

“A year for sure, I’ll get there,” she added.

Ms. Bishop also told fans that her style inspiration was Amal Clooney, the wife of Hollywood superstar George Clooney.

“I love what she wears and when she wears it. She’s amazing,” she gushed about the glamorous lawyer.

Ms Bishop, meanwhile, turned heads at King’s coronation on Saturday in an extravagant Zimmermann ensemble.

She joined Anthony Albanese and other dignitaries from around the world at the historic event at Westminster Abbey in London.

Her outfit consisted of a cream two-piece with hand-applied 3D flowers with a matching cream fascinator.

Paired with a tiny Lady Dior handbag and slingback Dior heels, she was so fashionable she ended up in the “fashion bible” Women’s Wear Daily.

In the midst of a crowd of international royals, heads of state, celebrities and the British Royal Family, Ms. Bishop’s stunning outfit stood out.

In a post-Coronation wrap-up broadcast on 7News on Sunday, Ms Bishop revealed that she had met King Charles on a number of occasions and the pair got on well.

She described the king as “very charming, very intelligent, extremely knowledgeable about Australian politics, the nuances of politics in this country.”
