‘I was in the room when a rogue protestor verbally assaulted King Charles’.l
EXCLUSIVE: I was in the room when Australian Senator Lidia Thrope savaged King Charles, branding him “not my king”.
Australian Senator Lidia Thorpe slammed King Charles in a vocal protest.
King Charles had just sat down on stage after delivering his landmark speech when the protestor suddenly started yelling.
As one of the reporters in the gallery, I had also turned to take my seat before hearing the outburst below.
I quickly scrambled back to my feet and leaned over the balcony to get a better look at the woman hurling abuse at the 75-year-old monarch.
Recording the protestor from my phone, I watched as she calmly and deliberately made her way down the aisle towards the stage, where the king, queen, and other officials were seated.
Wearing a long possum skin coat, she yelled: “This is not your land, this is not your land, you are not my King, you are not our King.”
Australian Senator Lidia Thorpe heckled King Charles.
It took almost a minute for security to remove the lone protestor. As she was being moved back into the foyer, she shouted: “F*** the colonies.”
While it all unfolded, the hundred-odd guests stood in stunned silence.
