A flag mix-up occurred in Washington, D.C., as the US prepared for the upcoming visit of King Charles III, with Australian flags mistakenly displayed alongside British ones.
As part of the preparations, the US capital began hanging Union Flags to welcome the British monarch. However, some members of the public noticed that a number of Australian flags had also been put up.
A Washington, D.C. official acknowledged the error, saying the incorrectly displayed Australian flags were quickly replaced with British flags once the mistake was identified. The cause of the mix-up remains under investigation.
A spokesperson for Buckingham Palace announced on April 14 that King Charles III will begin a four-day visit to the US on April 27.
