Prince Charles, Camilla 'Delighted' To Join Commonwealth Games Despite Australia Monarchy Issues

"Old school pals catching up from #timbertop", Ms Ryan wrote on Instagram.

"I remember you used to follow my dad around asking him questions and I remember you stirring the milk", said Jane, as Charles smiled and laughed.

An image of the pair was shared online on Wednesday.

Michael Collins Persse was among those gathered to mark the royal's 70th birthday year at an official reception, where he recalled the then 17-year-old as a young history buff with a unique access.

Prince Charles and Camilla's visit to Australia came just days after a poll revealed that the residents wanted to end the monarchy in their country.

"I didn't obviously see what you're referring to but she was enthusiastic in any dealing I had with her and was really positive", Beattie said. "He said she seemed to be doing quite well for flowers so he'd pass them on".

As prime minister, Turnbull now has nothing but praise for the Prince of Wales. "So he doesn't carry his own toilet seat when he travels?" the host asked to which she quipped, "Don't you believe that!"

Charles has declined a cheeky invitation to explain why he, and not an Australian, should become the nation's next head of state in a speech during his Australian visit.

It will be the final day the prince and duchess are together, with Camilla set to attend events in Brisbane on Friday before flying home, while Charles will fly to Bundaberg and then on the Vanuatu, Cairns and Darwin.

Both tried their hands at table tennis, with Camilla joking that she would "leave it to the professionals".

Alongside her husband and heir to the British throne, Prince Charles, Camilla was front and centre at the opening ceremony in front of around 35,000 people at Carrara Stadium.
