Alpaca Sneezes on King Charles During Canberra Visit

King Charles was taken by surprise when Hephner the alpaca sneezed on him at the Australian War Memorial.

Hephner, a nine-year-old alpaca, was dressed in a golden bow tie and crown for the royal meeting.
Robert Fletcher, Hephner's owner, brought the alpaca to meet the King as part of his charity work.
The unexpected sneeze occurred when King Charles stroked Hephner's nose, causing laughter among the crowd.
King Charles quickly recovered from the surprise and continued greeting the large crowd gathered to see him and Queen Camilla.
The royal couple received a warm reception from thousands of Australians at the War Memorial, where they laid floral tributes.
