Charles was given a 20 second standing ovation for his address and was taking his seat when Senator Lidia Thorpe emerged in the chamber.

She called out “You are not our King” and “You destroyed our land”.

As security stood in the way to prevent her getting near the King who was sat beside Camilla just 30 feet away, she called out to him: “This is not your land, you are not our King.”

Senator Thorpe, 51, is an Aboriginal Australian independent politician and has been a senator for Victoria since 2000.

She was ushered out of the room after around 30 seconds by security.
