King Charles appeared to stumble during a speech on the final day of his and Queen Camilla’s tour in Australia.

The King and Queen visited Parramatta Park on Tuesday under Sydney’s blistering sunshine for a taste of suburban life and joined locals for a barbecue.

Charles and Camilla were handed some tongs and gave the chefs a hand by flipping over some snags – Australian slang for sausages.

During the engagement, the monarch also delivered a four-minute speech – during which he appeared to stumble for a moment, and was heard saying over the microphone: “Hang on, I picked up two pages of this bloody thing.”

He then returned to his speech, and went on to say he was delighted to be at Parramatta today, commending it as an “excellent choice for a community barbecue.”

He added: “It is a particular delight to see and smell all the “top tucker” here today, from Western Sydney’s vibrant and diverse community.”

Moreover, he spoke of his joy as he was able to renew his long association with the Royal Agricultural Society of New South Wales, joking: “As we are happily rediscovering today, New South Wales farmers continue to produce truly outstanding food and wine.

“It is no wonder, I think, that Sydney is world famous for its cuisine, whether it’s smashed avo, a pav, or a Cab Sav and that is what I hope has been on display.”

He concluded his speech to much applause, with the royal couple then leaving to head to their next engagements.

Today concluded Charles’s first visit to Australia as monarch – a trip which has been stained by anti-monarchy protests.

Controversy overshadowed his speech at Australia’s Parliament House on Monday when Indigenous independent senator Lidia Thorpe yelled at the monarch that he was not her King and Australia was not his land.

On Wednesday, he is expected to travel to Samoa
