The long-awaited promise made by King and Queen Camilla seems to be on the verge of realization, albeit partially.
Buckingham Palace’s confirmation on Sunday revealed that the royal couple is set to embark on a visit to Australia and Samoa this fall.
Notably absent from their itinerary is New Zealand, as per the official announcement.
Rumors surrounding this anticipated visit initially surfaced during the monarch’s coronation back in 2023.
However, plans were put on hold following the King’s diagnosis with cancer earlier this year.
Given the King’s health condition and the extensive nature of the journey, caution has been exercised by his advisors in making the necessary arrangements.
The significance of the timing of this visit has been amplified by Prince Charles’s expected participation in this year’s Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting, scheduled to take place in Samoa, a Pacific island nation.
A statement released by the palace emphasized that the visit will be confined to Samoa and Australia exclusively, following consultations with the Prime Ministers of both countries and taking into consideration time constraints and logistical challenges.
The Sun was the first to report this development, shedding light on the meticulous planning and coordination involved in organizing the royal visit.
