Oct. 21 (UPI) -- An Indigenous Australian senator heckled King Charles III after his address to the Australian Parliament House on Monday, yelling, "You are not my king," to the monarch.

Lidia Thorpe, an independent Aboriginal lawmaker, was escorted away from King Charles by security when she screamed her objection to him shortly after his speech, charging "genocide" against Australia's Indigenous population.
