It’s official, King Charles and Queen Camilla will be visiting Australia (and Samoa) in October.
A statement from the palace said the King and Queen will be visiting the ACT and NSW – but there are no further details at this time on where exactly they will be heading.
They will also be attending the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting due to be held in Samoa in October as well.
The King and Queen will not be visiting New Zealand this time around, as the King’s doctors have advised against it due to his ongoing cancer treatment.
It marks the first visit to Australia by a reigning monarch since Queen Elizabeth II last visited in 2011. Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said he looked forward to welcoming the royal couple.
“The King has a deep regard for our great nation, and has always spoken warmly of the time he has spent here and the astounding beauty of our extraordinary continent,” he said.
It’s sure to have monarchists excited, but is the royal visit a big deal to most people?
