King Charles to Pause Cancer Treatment for Royal Tour of Australia and Samoa

The monarch's health will be closely monitored as he embarks on his first Commonwealth visit since his diagnosis.

King Charles, 75, will travel to Australia and Samoa with Queen Camilla, marking his first Commonwealth tour as King.
The tour itinerary has been adjusted to accommodate the King's health, including rest days and no evening engagements.
Two doctors will accompany the King, and his cancer treatment will be paused during the trip, resuming upon return to the UK.
A planned visit to New Zealand was canceled due to health concerns, though Charles expressed hope to visit in the future.
Despite health challenges, the tour aims to reinforce Commonwealth ties, with engagements focused on local culture and the King's interests.
