King Charles III and Queen Camilla will be in Australia this week — their first visit here since taking the throne.
Their visit coincides with the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, which is being held in the Samoan capital Apia.
However, given the king’s ongoing cancer treatment, the trip won’t be as busy as previous royal tours.
Charles will pause his cancer treatment during the visit but will receive it right up until he departs for Australia, UK media reports.
So, this will be a slimmed-down tour but there will still be several opportunities to see the royals.
From Friday evening, October 18, to Wednesday, October 23.
