Charles and Camilla hit Sydney harbour

Charles and Camilla arrive in Sydney

There’s a military theme in the air as the royal tour hits Sydney and true to Emerald City form the day started on the Harbour.

It was quite a sight as Their Royal Highnesses The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall arrived at Garden Island Ferry Wharf from Admiralty House on the Royal Australian Navy’s Admiral’s Barge.

At the wharf, they were met by General David Hurley AC DSC, Chief of the Defence Force and Mrs Linda Hurley and Commander Todd Wilson RAN Commanding Officer HMAS Kuttabul.

Prince Charles got a royal salute and inspected the Royal Guard of Honour and Royal Australian Navy Band before disappearing with his wife inside the Heritage Centre to meet some very proud and gleaming Australian Defence Force personnel who have recently returned from active service.

It’s the first stop on an action-packed day which sees the royal couple going their separate ways and coming together to try and fit in as many meet and greets as possible.
