Richard, Richard … where have you been
      I’ve been to the War Memorial to visit the King, and the Queen
Richard, Richard … what did you there
                 I told the King to respect his fair hair
                                         … for I think a hat should surely be seen

Context …

Sometimes there is a chance of coming in contact with notable people whether royalty, politicians, popstars or actors. Maybe for a fleeting moment of course. I did get the chance to see King Charles III and Queen Camilla when they made a one-day visit to Canberra last week. I took the above photograph when the royal couple came out of the Australian War Memorial and took time out to greet some of the well-wishers who had gathered for the occasion. He spoke to the fellow next to me before moving on.

King Charles seemed in a good mood he undoubtedly has a sense of humour. I think he is a bit philosophical at being in the role of King. Making the most of it I guess, not an enviable job.

The Pussycat was very kind to the Queen in trying to chase-off a mouse that had frequented the Palace. I was only trying to give the King some helpful advice to protect himself. The spring sunshine on the day was quite intense, a little different from England I might add.
