On October 27, Buckingham Palace announced that despite King Charles III undergoing treatment for cancer, plans are still underway for a comprehensive overseas visit schedule for him next year.
Earlier this year in February, the British royal family revealed that King Charles III had been diagnosed with cancer and had begun routine treatment, which necessitated a pause in his public engagements. The royal family indicated that the king has adopted a “completely positive” attitude toward his treatment, expressing eagerness to return to his official duties as soon as possible. Since then, his public appearances have been notably limited.
In October, King Charles III and Queen Camilla embarked on a nine-day visit to Australia and Samoa, marking the first time he has traveled abroad since his diagnosis. Reports stated that his medical team accompanied him during this trip.
Upon the conclusion of the visit, the royal family announced that they are currently making progress on plans for next year’s overseas engagements, expressing confidence that the king will resume his full travel schedule. The royal family emphasized that King Charles III is “very pleased and determined” to continue his overseas visits, further demonstrating his commitment to his responsibilities.
