Australian radio star Kyle Sandilands has pointed out a bizarre detail about King Charles and Queen Camilla‘s visit to Australia.
The popular host questioned on his KIIS FM radio show on Monday why the royal couple were being around in a mid-sized car.
‘Can I ask why are the King and Queen are being driven around Australia in an Audi hatchback? Like what the hell is going on there,’ he said.
‘The King is usually In this custom made Bentley and we’ve squeezed him in an Audi hatchback.’
His co-host Jackie O Henderson then said: ‘I have the answer. It says Charles prefers Audi due to their commitment to safety and reliability.’
‘That sounds like a press release from Audi honestly,’ Kyle admitted as they burst into laughter.
The royal couple are on a six-day tour of Australia, their first since the King ascended to the throne.
The King and Queen beamed in the bright sunshine as they arrived for a church service on their first full day of engagements in Australia.

They were met with loud cheers from the hundreds of well-wishers gathered as they arrived at St Thomas’ Anglican Church in North Sydney on Sunday morning.
However the King alluded to his inevitable jet-lag as he signed a Bible marking the occasion, joking: ‘What day is it again?’ and chuckling, before moving on to sign the prayer book.
Outside the church a small group of anti-monarchy protestors gathered outside under a large ‘decolonise’ banner around 100 metres away but they failed to spoil the joyful mood.
They used a megaphone to shout their support for indigenous rights and waved Palestinian and Lebanon flags.
A handful of locals shouted ‘get lost’ and ‘get a life’ in frustration as they walked past, while one man told them: ‘Be thankful you live in a free society where you can argue across the street.’
Fans waiting inside the church grounds to shake hands with the King and Queen described the ongoing republican debate as a ‘bore’.
After the King and Queen arrived, the protestors were drowned out by shouts of ‘hip hip hooray’ and blocked from sight by hundreds of camera phones held aloft.
Members of the public held signs saying ‘Welcome home Your Majesties’
