- “The optics of it aren’t great.”
Front pages dominated by the Australian senator Lidia Thorpe who heckled King Charles, rather than the success of the royal tour, will not have been in the designs of the Palace’s PR team, says Sarah Hewson.

The title of this video is ridiculous. The media chose to give one person's outburst prominence, which is why she acted as she did. Lydia didn't have the courage of her convictions when she swore her oath of loyalty to the late Queen and her heirs to get her foot in the door, but you won't call out that hypocrisy. Meanwhile The King seemed more amused than anything else and has continued to carry out his program of engagements, and quietly launched The King's Foundation Australia, to give ordinary Australians similar opportunities to those achieved by Dumfries House in Scotland. I'd suggest he's far more concerned about making that a success than he is about whether you put his face on a front page or not.
Thorpe is well known as a total idiot in Australia. So Times stop making it a big thing. It has actually helped the King, class of crass always wins.
HVALA TI BOŽE NETKO SA MOZGOM, 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😇😭
Australia here, hello. Most Australians couldn’t care less, and there isn’t a lot of talk about a referendum. Next.
It's really embarrassing having to watch so many Australians get on their knees & lick "royal" arses so enthusiastically, most people here in England are laughing uncontrollably at your nations lack of self respect.
1 woman ? Most people are Happy to see him. Look at the New Zealand Ladies getting a HUG.
Keep him then. So us in Britain can dissolve the monarchy.
@@jean-lucpicard5510 You're a Frenchman Mr Picard, your opinion doesn't count.
@jean-lucpicard5510 Don't you dare include me in your minority 'us', you're not in France now!
The protest is fine, a valid point historically, but maybe she should look t her own Country's voting record on who now has power and who owns what: Last year, Australians overwhelmingly rejected a plan to give greater political rights to Indigenous people in a referendum. ALL six states voted No.
British Royalty today is symbolic anyway and 'The King' (whether he's yours or not) can't decide ANYTHING about Indigenous rights, other than acknowledge the past, which he has done frequently and shown great respect.
If he was to say today, "Fair enough, Australia is now no longer part of my vast British Empire, it's been fun, good bye!" It would make ZERO difference to the lives and traditions of Indigenous people.
There is no talk about a Republic in Australia we are fine with our King
I'm not
Lydia got in due to the stupidity of the Greens!
People of pure Aboriginal are nearly extinct, except for a small for a small population in northern and central Australia 🇦🇺. That's how it has been for 150 years!
Lydia only is about one-quarter Aboriginal ancestry. Aboriginal and Torres Strait people say 40% of people claiming to be Aboriginal actually have no Aboriginal ancestry. Under I hope you start to understand what people are told is fraudulent!!
I'm from 35 per cent Irish ancestry and reckon the Irish Govt should pay me benefits....Nah...just pretending, even though they probably would have...if I'd have a DNA test!!!!!
spoken like a true gammon.. well done sir.
@robstewart1703 My neighbours are all black, and the man I live and share my home with is black.
I live in a small rural town.
They are not Aboriginal !!
Everyone is jumping on the trendy band waggon, even those who are fakes or so distant in ancestry. And you would have guessed it...Most don't want a confirmation DNA test. I wonder why 😅?????
Breathtakingly racist. It’s simply heartbreaking to see such banal cruelty so obviously displayed.
shes not an aboriginal
I'd have advised her to wear a "Go Back Where You Came From" tee shirt
If your referring to the so called Royalty ..couldn't agree more ..don't know why they even came here, they're totally irrelevant.
@Luke-PlanesTrainsDogsnCars
Your comment is also irrelevant, some of us don't mind the monarchy
For goodness' sake stop calling Thorpe a heckler. She's not heckling, she's just being rude for the camera - as usual. She's a selfish grandstander and full-time victim pretending to be a stateswoman. She's got no respect for anyone, other than, obviously, her own PR.
It hasn't affected the King's image in Australia at all. I know. I'm here.
Everyone should look at her background imo.
Nonsense headline the media seem to be trying to find a narrative here without the events or facts to fit.
Exactly
Part of the Voice Vote was to Pay Compensation to all Aborigine’s who are
Less than 10% of our
Population and they wanted Million’s of $’s
In Compensation.
The Australian Government via the Taxpayers could not
Afford this and the Vote was Lost and Doubtful if there will be another Vote on this Matter.
Australia has handed
Land back to the Indiginous People also
Business that were Started on their Land, Working Stations, Given
She does not represent the vast majority of His Majesty’s subjects in the Commonwealth of Australia. They are overwhelmingly either committed to constitutional monarchy, or simply oblivious to or apathetic with regard to ‘republicanism’.
However, she’s embarrassed & shamed the country, unfortunately. And I, for one, harbour suspicions that the hard-left there ( they appear to be extremely powerful in Melbourne, seemingly ) orchestrated that obscenely crude, rude display. Australia appears to be in danger of being undermined by its very own ‘Bay Area’, Northern California enclave of extremism.
It was the story the anti-English, anti-British BBC wanted...and they made the most of it
🤑
True ✅
Anti-British? BBC literally stands for British Broadcasting Company 😂
Too right!! Hardly any mention of the reception by the Australian people.
ps: Lidia Thorpe looks like an every-day European. She did nothing for the Republican movement.
The senator who had a temper tantrum is known for this disgraceful behaviour. The tour was a great success.
I dislike Lidia Thorpe for opposing the Voice Referendum. Why did she do that? Because she only wants one voice in First Nations affairs, IMO - her own.
That heckler is a waste of oxygen. The REAL leader of the indigenous tribes is constantly apologising for her pathetic behaviour. 😅
Is the "real leader' an elected representative?
@@SW-ok8qr I'm pretty sure he's a lot more indigenous than this woke wannabe! 😂
The King and Camilla were very well received. He has always been respectful to all. Thorpe is a disgrace to all many Aboriginal people do not agree with her and have said so. Tlook at the proportion of indigenous represtation in parliament. All thorpe did is make most Australians more in favour of Monarchy
Typical times headline, sensationalised bs ,one gobby women and Chas barely seemed bothered by her rant. Meanwhile the average Aussie seemed pretty chuffed to see the heads of state up close and personal.
He can start by refusing to apologize for britains past.
Personally I would turn this episode's title round the other way. This incident could be seen as Loony Left Race Activist PR disaster as opposed to a 'Royal; one. It showed millions normal people round the world (who might not have realised before) just how unpleasant, rude, & divisive race-obsessed activists are.
Yes, it was a racist attack on the king.
Imagine the squawks and screams had the visiting president of an African country been verbally insulted by a 'white' protester.
She made a fool of herself, as protesters always do, and Their Majesties carried on.
Prince Andrew is the one who made a fool of himself..and the King for the sham marriage
WHAT A BULL**** COMMENT. Nothing is in disarray, but the bull you type.
Please tell me they haven't left andrew alone to babysit the royal grandkids 😪
She's done the Royals a favour - in the way, she's revealed the berserk nature of the debate - and foreshadowed even more toxic and self-immolating debates that Australians will face next, if they become another republic
I'm Australian and although many Australians agree with her that was rude and unnecessary. Especially since us loosing the monarchy will happen in 10 years or so anyway.
I on the whole think we should become a Republic but really want to keep close ties with Britain.
losing...
There is precisely 0% chance it would happen in 10 years. 50 years, perhaps, but who knows what kind of world we will be living in, in 50 years.
The King of England is amoungst us.Welcome to the year 1575.
Hilary Johnson, King Charles is the King of the United Kingdom you ignorant ranter.
There hasn't been a "King of England" since 1707 when the Kingdom of England was united with the Kingdom of Scotland.
Australia is an independent country and a member of the Commonwealth of Nations.
It's rather refreshing to have regular evidence that the king's enemies are uneducated ravers.
Thorpe should know that the king is apolitical.
And Thorpe having achieved a status in parliament should be happy as a representative of all Australians .. and not lose sight of the context of where she lives today!
There are many reasons why I would get rid of the monarchy. None of them have anything to do with Australia.
What dissaray? There is no dissaray and no surprise. There are always people around that hate monarchy. Yet, the countries with parlamentarian monarchies are advanced countries, that the points of destination for many legal and illigal immigrants.
go and research how much other countries are spending on their royals... then tell me you still have the same sentiment ...
@@robstewart1703happily. The crown estate would otherwise be inherited by the family of the monarch if they were not monarch. The income paid by the crown estate far outweighs the cost of the monarchy to the UK tax payer.
The headline is misleading. There are very few political figures in Australia who are as polarising and derided as Lydia Thorpe. The vast majority of Austns - including republicans - would have been embarrassed and quite dismissive of her antics. The only thing that is in disarray at the moment is the campaign for an Austn republic.
More like you deluded 😅
yeah, so embarrassing that she stood up to the figurehead of the colonists that destroyed her ancestors culture...
Absolutely Agree✅
keep giving them a platform and everyone will just yell and cry at events to get ideas covered and bypass any civil form. Guess its a win/win for the media that can bake endless new stories about.
This was the only story and angle the anti-British, anti-monarchy BBC wanted and they revelled in it.
Perhaps one could look at new rules for decorum for Royal and foreign dignitary visits?
It may also be appropriate to review the rules for defamation libel and slander in an international context.
Furthermore many of us observe, face or experience severe, enduring and even targeted misogny, abuse and fraud, however there is no need to resort to uncough grotesque public and disgraceful behaviour. I never felt the need, to do so.
Spoken as a private, impoverished and "insignificant" human being who is seeking to return to the EU or the UK from a developing commonwealth nation, over the years and in defense of the TR you tube channel -as well as the Royal Family and other individuals-, I continue to report abusive hateful and even dangerous comments to YT. Please help us deal with this to keep us all safe🙏
May this channel and the entire Royal family be safe, healthy and blessed💜
You dont have to agree with Senator from Australia but it is a democracy and she represents a significant minority of people in the commonwealth regarding the British Royal Family
There are other ways of giving views people like this woman just want attention she's not even much of a Aboriginal.
Charles went to school here in Australia and is our king which protects the executive role from being politicised and used to lecture the nation as it is not held by ill bred, opportunistic ambitious politicians who are president. Republics are unstable and fall very easily. The USA, France, Venezuela, Argentina and Brasil are all examples of how republics waste so much energy in instability. As most Australian including indigenous Australians have British ancestors it seems intolerant and wrong to hate our king for being of mixed ancestry. We all have mixed ancestry.
She doesn't represent all aboriginal people.
Aussies not into play acting
Thousands of people turned out to farewell Charles and Camilla at the Opera House. It was a very successful tour and .most Australians support the RF.
Even among Aussie republicans, Lidia is an embarrassment. No one takes her seriously. Even the Greens were cringing. The Aboriginal communities are not homogeneous. She embarrassed most them too.
speaking for the aboriginal communities eh, how very australian of you 🤦♂
@@robstewart1703 Like you do you mean.
This discussion skates over the fact that Australia’s First Nations people had enormous injustices done to them by the British government and people. It was the British who took their land. It was British settlers who massacred tribes in order to create vast land holdings, it was British prospectors who shouldered the First Nations off their land and the destroyed it for gold without any recognition that the people saw themselves as part of the environment equal with the rest of nature. And what do we get from Sir Keir Starmer? Crickets! Britain did all this without a treaty. Remember Australia was part of Britain until 1901. Time for a treaty, time for reparations and time for Times Radio and their “ Royal Correspondent” to stop being jelly backs and show some spine by calling out the human tragedy caused by their occupation of the land.
And it wasn't just the Aboriginees they stole Land and Artifacts off of
The Maori and many other Nations with Indigenous people went through similar BS
@@JohnNeve-l6m Well said John thnx
1901is a long time ago.
On a positive note the past time he went down under he was shot at….
Hope the king had a good visit, outside of this incident 🇬🇧💙🇦🇺
I don't think he will be back Down Under in a hurry...
Good
Not important and irrelevant at this point.
The Monarchy died with Queen Elizabeth.
No, you’re being dramatic.
Maybe he should change his title to 'king of the whites'
Very misleading, disingenuous headlines!!
Thorpe can't control herself, the Australian people will decide if they want a different Head of State if so a First Nation Aboriginal should be the first one ,every Country has a dark history especially the Catholic Church ,now everyone should look to the future
All the walter mitty medals what an embarrassement
He just loves fancy dress. It’s all he’s done for 70 years. The biggest benefits scrounger in the whole of the U.K., possibly the world.
@@steve5825
You don't what you're talking about.
I suggest you look into The Crown Estate - you'll discover the monarchy pays for itself.
Well if they embarrass you - stop wearing them
What a ridiculous click bait title. The only thing it did to the king and queens PR was to make them more popular.
Leaving aside the rights and wrongs and the justification or otherwise for the 'intervention'. Did Charlies well paid PR brigade not get him prepared for such 'interventions'?
The King would have been well-briefed before setting out.
He's a pragmatist, do you really think he's troubled by her rant? He has already said Oz will make it's own decisions.
Australia has our own monarch now, Queen Mary of Denmark (born Australia)
She’s Tasmanian. And a Danish royal. Nothing at all to do with Australia.
@@albertarthurparsnips5141 Charles is from halfway around the world, and British royal. Nothing at all to do with Australia.
@@DaveOz-mx5ohapart from sharing the same source of blood with the majority of Australians…..?
Perhaps, the Palace should have sent Andrew instead 😂🤣😂
What,s has the War Hero Done. Where was your dad in that war.
😂 He would probably fly back through Bangkok to cruise the bars.
@@Luke-PlanesTrainsDogsnCars you would too. He was in a war Zone.
That comment says a lot about you.
He can serve fries at McDonalds
I hear that it is popular.
What happened to late Diana?
She's buried in her brother's garden.
BTW: Her brother, the one who preached 'family values" at her funeral, has ditched his THIRD wife and is trying out a number four.
More like unwaffled
Dont come back Charles, NOT OUR king. And these people should do research before speaking. There is no whisper of a referendum.
There has been a sad lacking in English royal assassinations 😅
