King Charles faced one of his toughest years after being diagnosed with cancer in early February, which led him to step back from royal duties for treatment. His wife, Queen Camilla, has been urging him to take it easy, concerned he might overwork himself too soon. Despite his challenges, Charles is now recovering and preparing for an overseas tour to Australia and Samoa in October, health permitting.
In February, Buckingham Palace revealed the diagnosis, with Charles expressing gratitude for the support and sharing his condition to raise awareness about cancer. His openness led to a spike in visits to Cancer Research UK’s website. Queen Camilla, however, initially opposed disclosing his health but eventually supported him. She’s worried about his work pace, especially ahead of the Australia tour.
Charles recently provided a health update, mentioning he wouldn’t be visiting New Zealand due to doctor’s orders but hoped to return soon. The October tour will be his first major trip as king, though it will be shorter and adapted due to his health, with the King focusing on engagements related to cancer research.
