Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has told the ABC that he believes Charles III will be a highly engaged King of Australia, describing him as "very interested in what's happening" in the country.
Mr Albanese made the comments in a sit-down interview with the ABC in London ahead of the coronation on Saturday.
The prime minister said he could not disclose what he discussed in his meeting this week with the King due to protocols, but said Charles was knowledgeable about the issues that Australia was currently dealing with.
