The message, read in Parliament on Wednesday, was sent by one of the King’s private secretaries to the Speaker of the House Mark Shelton.

“The King has asked me to thank you for your kind messages following his Majesty’s Coronation, and for the heartfelt nature of your comments,” the message read.

“The King is most touched that you should have thought of him at this time and is particularly grateful for your continued support.”

“His Majesty has asked me to send his warmest good wishes at this time of celebration.”

King Charles III became King of the British throne on the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, on 8 September last year.

The letter comes after the recent announcement that Australian coins will soon feature the new king by the end of the year.
