The shocking question a Kyle and Jackie O staffer asked Queen Camilla during her trip to Australia


A KIIS FM radio staffer asked Queen Camilla a controversial question about her summer while meeting her in Australia on Tuesday.

Producer Joshua Fox joined thousands of royal fans at the iconic Sydney Opera House to meet King Charles and Queen Camilla as they visited the tourist spot.

Shortly after the royal couple arrived, the radio producer asked: ‘Your Majesty, did you have a brat summer?’

A brat summer refers to enjoying life as much as you can despite any struggles you may be facing. 

Many fans questioned his choice of words, with one commenting on the video: ‘And that’s the best you could come up with?’

‘Seriously… why go?! I don’t understand,’ another questioned.

King Charles and Queen Camilla undertook a mass meet and greet on Tuesday at the Sydney Opera House.

Police estimated 10,000 well-wishers thronged into the area – more than three times the expected estimate – waiting for four or five hours for Their Majesties to arrive.

Even the sight of their official convoy received loud cheers as it sped past, but the real roars were saved for when the couple appeared as tiny specks over the top of the landmark, just below the ‘sails’.

Posing for that favoured tourist snap, with Sydney Harbour Bridge as a stunning backdrop, they signed the official visitors’ book and met performers including British actress Joanna Lumley, who by coincidence has a show at the Opera House.

But they were clearly keen to get downstairs as soon as possible and say thank you to those members of the public who have welcomed them so warmly on their six-day visit to Australia, Charles’ first as king.

The monarch gallantly held his arm out for his wife to hold as they climbed carefully down to massive cheers, occasionally waving as they did.

Outside the Opera House today, Simon Perdriau, 32, from Sydney handed the King a piece of timber made from Australia blackwood and cedar from his Highgrove home. 

The King apologised to some of the crowd for them having to wait in the sun for several hours. One said: ‘Everything was worth it to see you.’

Charles was also handed a kangaroo teddy bear and Australian flags, while Camilla – wearing a Fiona Clare white silk crepe dress with black piping and a military brooch – gathered armfuls of flowers as the crowd sang ‘God Save The King’ and gave them three cheers.
