Britain’s King Charles becomes Australian admiral, air marshal and field marshal

In addition to being king of realm, he can now call himself field marshal of Australia’s army, marshal of its air force and admiral of the fleet.

It was not a bad day’s work for the 75-year-old monarch, who spent Saturday recuperating and without public engagements after a marathon flight from London to Sydney.

“We are really looking forward to returning to this beautiful country to celebrate the extraordinarily rich cultures and communities that make it so special,” the royal couple said in a social media post ahead of their arrival.
