Despite being invited to the reception in Canberra on October 21, not a single State Premier will be present to welcome Charles and Camilla
The King has been snubbed by Australia's top politicians, who have turned down the chance to meet him in Canberra next week. Charles and Camilla are gearing up for a nine-day Australian tour starting this Friday, with plans to attend events that bolster community ties and highlight their key interests, including environmental efforts and support for domestic violence charities.

Royal insiders have slammed the recent developments as "deeply unprofessional", yet they are optimistic that it won't affect the upcoming tour. A source shared their enthusiasm about the trip, saying: "The King and Queen are incredibly excited to visit Australia and Samoa and are very much looking forward to getting out and meeting as many people as possible during their visit.
In the midst of political debates, Brad Rowswell, a Liberal Party opposition member in Victoria, has revealed that he urged Ms Allan back in May not to downplay the importance of the Royal couple's visit, highlighting the need for leadership to sometimes put personal views aside for the greater good.
