King Charles and Queen Camilla are finally fulfilling a promise in the fall.
Buckingham Palace confirmed on Sunday that the King and Queen will be visiting Australia and Samoa this fall, though New Zealand is not included in the plans.
The visit had been a topic of speculation since the monarch's coronation in 2023. However, the plans were put on hold after the King was diagnosed with cancer earlier this year.
Aides had been cautious about the plans, as the King requires rest and the trip is lengthy.
The visit has become pertinent as the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting will be held in Samoa this year, and King Charles was expected to attend the gathering of 56 nations.
“In close consultation with the Australian and New Zealand prime ministers, and with due regard for the pressures of time and logistics, it has therefore been agreed to limit the visit to Samoa and Australia only,” the Palace statement read, via The Sun.
“Their Majesties send their warmest thanks and good wishes to all parties for their continued support and understanding.”
Further details of the visit to both countries will be announced soon.
