King Charles III’s cancer diagnosis will not prevent him from flying abroad next year for foreign visits, a Buckingham Palace official said, as the monarch wrapped up a tour of Australia and Samoa.
“We’re now working on a pretty normal looking full overseas tour programme for next year, which is a high for us to end on, to know that we can be thinking in those terms,” the official said late Saturday.
Charles was diagnosed with an undisclosed cancer earlier this year but doctors agreed he could pause his treatment to allow him to travel to Australia and Samoa.
The palace announced in April that he would make a limited return to public duties, as doctors were “very encouraged” by his progress.
