Health comes first for the King

Despite the excitement, the palace has made it clear: King Charles' health is top priority. With advice from his doctors, the tour's extension has been capped, ensuring the King's continued recovery from an undisclosed cancer treatment he's been undergoing since February. Modifications to their schedule are on the cards, keeping the King's health in the spotlight.

This royal visit is historic, marking the first time a reigning monarch has visited Australia since Queen Elizabeth II's tour in 2011. The late Queen visited Australia 16 times, a testament to the enduring connection between the countries. Charles and Camilla are no strangers to Australia, having represented the late Queen at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, but this visit promises to be a standout.
