King Charles and Queen Camilla's visit to Australia hasn't run as smoothly as expected.
Security staff have removed Independent Senator Lidia Thorpe after she yelled ' not my king' and 'F the Colony' at the King after his speech at Parliament House today.
Australian correspondent Oliver Peterson says Thorpe's views aren't representative of the wider opinion.
