The King has held an audience with Australia’s governor of Victoria.
The monarch, who is just under a month into his reign, welcomed Linda Dessau to Balmoral Castle in the Scottish Highlands.
Charles III, who is also King of Australia, wore a grey suit with a burgundy patterned tie and pocket handkerchief.

Ms Dessau, who was a family court judge, has been in the role since 2015 when she became the first female governor of the state in south-eastern Australia.
She acts as the monarch’s representative in Victoria, which includes the city of Melbourne.
