Radio star points out bizarre detail about King Charles and Queen Camilla’s visit to Australia
Australian radio star Kyle Sandilands has pointed out a bizarre detail about King Charles and Queen Camilla’s visit to Australia.
The popular presenter wondered in his radio program KIIS FM on Monday why the royal couple drove around in a medium-sized car.
‘Can I ask why the King and Queen are driving around Australia in an Audi hatchback? Like what’s going on there,” he said.
“The King usually sits in this custom-made Bentley and we squeezed him into an Audi hatchback.”
His co-host Jackie O Henderson then said: “I have the answer. It says Charles prefers Audi because of their commitment to safety and reliability.”
“That honestly sounds like an Audi press release,” Kyle admitted as they burst out laughing.
The royal couple are on a six-day tour of Australia, the first since the king took the throne.
The King and Queen beamed in bright sunshine as they arrived for a church service on their first full day of engagement in Australia.

They were greeted with loud cheers by the hundreds of well-wishers who gathered as they arrived at St Thomas’ Anglican Church in North Sydney on Sunday morning.
However, the king alluded to his inevitable jet lag when he signed a Bible to mark the occasion and joked: “What day is it again?” and grinning, before continuing to sign the prayer book.
Outside the church, a small group of anti-monarchy protesters gathered under a large “decolonize” banner about 100 meters away, but they failed to spoil the joyful mood.
They used a megaphone to express their support for the rights of indigenous people and waved Palestinian and Lebanese flags.
A handful of locals frustratedly shouted “get lost” and “get a life” as they walked past, while one man told them, “Be thankful you live in a free society where you can argue across the street.”
Fans waiting on the church grounds to shake hands with the king and queen called the ongoing republican debate ‘annoying’.
After the king and queen arrived, protesters were drowned out by shouts of “hip hip hurray” and obscured by hundreds of camera phones held aloft.
The crowd held signs reading ‘Welcome home Your Majesties’
