King Charles to ‘pause’ cancer treatment for Australian tour

The King is to pause his cancer treatment during his high-profile tour to Australia next week.

 

 

Royal doctors gave Charles, 75, permission to briefly halt the weekly cycle in order to fly around the world for his key visit Down Under, followed by a state visit to Samoa in the South Pacific.

The monarch, who was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of the disease in February, will receive treatment up until his departure, and resume the outpatient appointments when he returns to the UK, the Daily Mail reported.

He will be away for 11 days, with the tour covering nine days with two days of travel either side, and his entourage will include, as is usual for Charles’s official overseas visits, his doctor.

The long-haul trip with the Queen is a major milestone for the King.

It will be his most significant overseas tour since his cancer diagnosis and his first to Australia as the nation’s head of state, looking set to prompt debate about the future of the monarchy in the country and whether it should become a republic.

Australian retired football player and human rights activist Craig Foster revealed he has turned down an invitation to a community barbecue with the King and Camilla.

The ex-Socceroo, who is the former co-chairman of the Australian Republic Movement, thanked New South Wales premier Chris Minns for inviting him, but rejected the place.

He posted on X: “No thanks. I look forward to being ‘in the presence of’ our first Aussie head of state.

“When we put our big pants on, as a country.”

Meanwhile, Graham Smith, chief executive of the UK anti-monarchist organisation Republic, revealed he has travelled to Australia, ready to stage events and protests in Sydney and Canberra during the tour.

Australia’s prime minister Anthony Albanese has a long-held aim of holding a referendum on breaking ties with the British monarchy and his country becoming a republic.
