King Charles is set to expand his royal entourage as he embarks on his first royal tour since revealing his diagnosis of an unspecified type of cancer. An article in The Times published on October 11 states that during his 11-day journey to Australia and Samoa, the monarch will be accompanied by two doctors.
The report indicates that “he will pause the cancer treatment he has been having since February,” noting that he will be “monitored closely” while traveling abroad. A palace insider informed The Times that the “decision to pause treatment and resume it when he returns to Britain followed advice from doctors.”
Palace sources confirm Charles paused treatment following doctors’ recommendations for his international tour
The royal couple, King Charles and Queen Camilla, is scheduled to begin their travels on Friday, October 18, concluding their Oceania visit on Saturday, October 26. This trip to Sydney and Canberra marks the King’s first visit to a Commonwealth country since ascending the throne after the death of his mother, Queen Elizabeth, on September 8, 2022.
In February, the monarchy disclosed that King Charles was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer, but they have since maintained a relatively private stance on his health, providing few updates through close family members.
Recently, Tom Parker Bowles, Queen Camilla’s son, offered a rare insight into King Charles III’s cancer treatment at an event, stating that “the doctor says the treatment is going well.”
