Charles and Camilla kick off Sydney tour

NSW residents will get just one chance to meet with Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall during their royal tour visit to Sydney.

Sydneysiders will get just once chance to get up close and personal with Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall as they tour the city on Thursday.

Arriving in Sydney from Canberra on Wednesday night, the royal couple's busy schedule includes eight official events.

This includes chatting to officers at the NSW Police Mounted Unit, commemorating Victoria Barracks' 100th anniversary and dining with government officials at two formal receptions.

The only chance royals fans will get to chat to the heir to the throne and his second wife will be during a meet and greet at Martin Place in Sydney's CBD just after noon on Thursday.

They're expected to walk around with NSW Premier Mike Baird for a short time before heading off to a Government House reception with the NSW Governor David Hurley.

The pair will also split up several times on Thursday.

The Duchess will check out food charity Oz Harvest's headquarters, while the Prince of Wales will attend separate roundtables on leadership and post-disaster stress with Air Marshall Chief Sir Angus Houston.

The final event on the couple's itinerary on Thursday is a dinner hosted by Governor General Sir Peter Cosgrove at Admiralty House.

The pair will then spend Friday relaxing in Sydney before travelling to Western Australia on Saturday.

The royal couple last visited Australia in 2012, as part of The Queen's Diamond Jubilee Tour.
