During their Royal visit to Australia, King Charles and Queen Camilla encountered a slightly awkward moment while signing a church visitors' book.
After attending a service in Sydney that marked the start of their tour's events, they were shown Australia's first Bible, which has been autographed by every member of the Royal Family on previous tours.The Bible, belonging to Rev Richard Johnson, the first Christian Minister in Australia, was also signed by the late Queen Elizabeth during her landmark visit in 1954.
As the Archbishop presented the Bible to Charles, he noted that it "represents a significant history of this church and nation".King Charles, using his fountain pen, added his signature but then appeared to show signs of jet lag after arriving in Sydney on Friday, pausing to ask: "What day is it again?"Atop the page where Charles penned his name this weekend were the signatures of the late Princess of Wales from their 1983 visit, a trip that marked a crucial point in their ill-fated marriage, with reports suggesting Charles felt eclipsed by Diana's overwhelming popularity with the public.
Following the hour-long service at St Thomas' Church in North Sydney, the Royal pair emerged to the sound of loud cheers from the crowd gathered opposite the church, reports the Scottish Daily Express.
