When King Charles approached, Robert took his hand and introduced the King to the animal.

However, when the King gently caressed him in seconds, the alpaka sneefed hard.

Robert said after that: "I took his hand, then Hephner sneefed."

"The king only sees by not believing. However, that's how Hephner is. He is an alpaka," he said.

With his own gold crown on his hairy head, and a harmonious gold butterfly tie, Hephner is a living legend who describes himself. He is famous around the Canberra region for his charity work and has been allowed into the War Memorial page for a chance to meet with aristocrats, quoted from The Sydney Morning Herald.

"Hephner has met with several well-known people before, but this is the King. He wants to meet the King," said Robert, who is from Goulburn, New South Wales.
