King's tribute as Australia gives Dame Edna a state memorial

The monarch was a close friend of the Dame Edna Everage star and spoke to him just before he died aged 89 in April following hip surgery complications.

Charles later led tributes to Humphries, with the Palace saying he had been left "saddened". 

A state memorial is being held for the comic at the Sydney Opera House today. Family, friends, and fans will gather to recall the life of the actor, poet, musician, and artist.

It will be broadcast live on Australian television.
