King Charles III of the United Kingdom will suspend his cancer treatment during his official visit to several countries in Oceania over the next week, according to what the British tabloid ‘Daily Mail’ published this Monday.
According to the publication, doctors allowed the monarch to briefly interrupt her weekly treatment cycle. during the 11 days that it will last his trip to Australia and Samoa, which will begin on October 18, and will resume upon his return to the United Kingdom.
Carlos III, 75, will travel with his wife, Queen Camilla, in Australia, where they will visit Sydney and Canberra, then to Samoa, where they will pay a state visit and attend the meeting of heads of government of the British Commonwealth of Nations (Commonwealth, former colonies).
A busy schedule, with up to ten daily commitments between the two, during their royal visit which, according to the ‘Daily Mail’, was carried out in close consultation with Charles III’s doctors and “taking into account” the monarch’s health and continued recovery. In addition, during the trip, Carlos III and Camilla will be accompanied by an entourage that will include a doctor.
This is a trip of great significance, as it is the first state visit since his cancer diagnosis, as well as the first to Australia as head of state since he became king (September 8, 2022), and he hopes his presence will reopen the debate about the future of the monarchy in the country or whether it should become a republic.
Camila and her advisers urged Carlos III to reduce the pace of work, but sources told the ‘Daily Mail’ that British monarch feels ‘full of energy’ and that it is important for him to maintain his usual routine.
The British monarch was diagnosed with cancer last February. after having prostate surgeryand since then he remains under treatment for the disease.
