The tour began in Sydney, with the royals making their first public appearance at St Thomas' Anglican Church. Some who attended were fulfilling a life-long dream, and others finally got to meet their pen pal, the King.

00:00We are fans of the Royal Family. Billy was lucky enough to receive a letter in response
00:07to one he wrote to the King a little while ago.
00:09What an opportunity. I'll never see the King of England or the Queen of England again or
00:14Great Britain, so here I am.
00:16I've seen him before and I've got letters from him. I sent him a card when his mother
00:20died and he sent me a card back.
00:24When he first came from his car, he came in through like over there and we were, all the
00:29kids were behind like a barrier and like he was asking us if we were like learning about
00:37the Bible and we were getting tested about the Bible.
00:40I really see them because my dad and my mother have to dream to see them but they have passed
00:46away now. I have to dream to see them and have to say them hello.
00:50I actually had a handshake with both King Charles and Queen Camilla, which was very
00:55exciting, very exciting. They were both very humble, you know, told them that we were delighted
01:00to see them.
01:01I got to shake their hands. It was such an amazing experience. It was just absolutely
01:07wonderful.
01:08When I realised that the King and Queen were just in my neighbourhood, I couldn't resist
01:12coming down to see them.
01:13I welcomed them to Sydney and I wished the King all the very best for his cancer treatment
01:18and he said, thank you very much, I really appreciate your wishes.
01:20I have actually read each for Tasmania.
