is faced with another major headache ahead of and this time it involves a piece of cake.
The monarch will head to Australia in two days, alongside Queen Camilla, as no state premiers are expected to attend his welcome ceremony in Canberra on October 21.
But now he's embroiled in a fresh row over the nation's favourite cake - a Lamington - after he reportedly refused to try it.
- Victoria, Queensland, New South Wales, Tasmania, Western Australia and Southern Australia - cited other engagements and said they could not attend the King's welcome ceremony.
But one of them took another swipe at the King and accused him of turning down a Lamington, according to the .
Queensland premier Steven Miles claimed that he and Charles visited a children's hospital in 2018 and that's when the now-monarch declined the chocolate and coconut sponge cake.
He told the outlet: "I've got a bit to do here in Queensland so I won't be able to make the party with the King.
"But I did host him last time he was here in Queensland so I'm sure he won't take it personally.
"I took him to the children's hospital and we had a really great day there.
"The highlight was the children had made Lamingtons and he looked at me and I said 'we've got to eat it'.
"And he said 'I will not', so I ate the Lamington. He declined the Lamington but I ate it for him."
The latest snub against the British Royal Family has been criticised by the pro-royal Australian Monarchists League, whose spokesperson, Bev McArthur, called it a "slap in the face" for Charles.
She told the Herald Sun: "All premiers and ministers have sworn allegiance to our monarch, Charles III, and it is a monumental insult that they now spit in his hand extended in friendship.
"This is a historic opportunity to unite Australia, to focus on charitable work and to give back to communities. Yet our immature politicians are clearly choosing to play politics."
