Ahead of King Charles III's visit to Washington, D.C., city officials mistakenly displayed Australian flags instead of the British Union Jack near the White House.
The error, involving at least 15 flags, was quickly noticed and corrected before the King's arrival. The mix-up drew international attention and some embarrassment, as King Charles is the monarch of both the UK and Australia, though his role in Australia is largely ceremonial. The incident highlights the importance of diplomatic protocol and attention to detail during high-profile state visits.
Officials acted swiftly to replace the flags and ensure a proper welcome for the British monarch.
