King Charles made sure to avoid accidentally grilling his fingers as a he cooked bangers on the barbie in Australia.
The King and Queen said goodbye to Australia after a “sausage sizzle” and a wave from the steps of the Sydney Opera House. The sausage-fingered monarch flipped the pork links on a barbecue when they joined locals in a park for a taste of suburban life in Sydney. Chas was handed some tongs and clicked them in anticipation and the Camilla did the same before they set about making sure the “top tucker” cooked evenly, with Charles looking after the vegetarian option and his wife the beef bangers.
Restaurant manager Scott McCoy, 42, was looking after the barbecue and said it was an “honour” to have some royal helpers. Known by his nickname Chop, he added: “They said the sausages were amazing, they didn’t try them but they could see.”

“You ravaged our land, we demand a treaty, we want a treaty in this country, you genocidalist. This isn’t your territory, this isn’t your land, you are not my King, you’re not our King.” the MP said. Read the full story here.
