Australia Reiterates Open Invitation for William and Kate After PM’s Audience With the King

No dates are set or confirmed by Buckingham Palace.

Overview

  • Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said there is a standing invitation and he is hopeful the Prince and Princess of Wales will visit in the coming period following his 90‑minute meeting with King Charles at Balmoral.
  • Buckingham Palace has not announced a tour for the couple, and spokespeople declined to confirm any plans.
  • Royal commentators suggest any visit would likely be timed for the UK summer school holidays, with several reports pointing to mid‑2026 as a potential window.
  • Experts say the couple would probably bring Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, though that remains speculative.
  • William and Kate last toured Australia in 2014 with infant Prince George, while King Charles and Queen Camilla completed a nine‑day Australia and Samoa trip in 2024.
