Eight months after his cancer diagnosis was revealed, this royal tour is important for Charles - and the monarchy.
King Charles III and Queen Camilla are due to arrive in Australia on Friday on a historic royal tour.In February, Buckingham Palace announced the King had cancer and all his “public-facing duties” stopped - on doctors’ orders.
Royal aides have been open about the King’s diagnosis and treatment but they have never revealed the type of cancer the King has nor offered details of the kind of treatment he’s receiving. “His health is on a positive trajectory,” they tell us. The timetables in Australia and Samoa do not include evening engagements. There are no state dinners, and no trips out late in the day. But we will see more of the King over the next nine days than we have for most of this year.
Queen Camilla is an influential figure within the royal household and has referenced her husband’s “workaholic” mindset at several public engagements – even after his cancer diagnosis. The King first visited Australia in 1966 as a 17-year-old starting two terms of teaching experience at a private school in Victoria. He returns as a 75-year-old monarch receiving treatment for cancer, towards the end of a year during which he has faced immense personal challenges.
