Prime Minister Anthony Albanese extended the royal couple an invitation after meeting King Charles at Balmoral Castle in Scotland on Sunday, September 28.
Albo said there was a “standing invitation” for the Prince and Princess of Wales to visit in the “coming period”.
“I’m certainly hoping there will be one; there’s a standing invitation that the royal family are always welcome in Australia,” he told News Corp.“It was wonderful to welcome King Charles and Queen Camilla to Australia recently, who had a very successful visit, and His Majesty is very engaged, and I hope that the Prince and Princess of Wales are able to visit as well.
“We are hopeful that this might occur in the coming period.”
The Prince and Princess of Wales last visited Australia in April 2014 with their son, Prince George, who was a baby at the time.
Their two younger children – Charlotte, 10, and Louis, seven – have never visited Australia, so it would be a first-time occasion for the whole family.
Princess Anne also just completed a brief tour of Australia, during which she visited Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.
King Charles’ sister – known as the Princess Royal – and her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, visited the country from November 8 to 11.
They then jetted out to Singapore to continue Anne’s royal engagements.
