The King's trip to Australia and Samoa had 'subtle adjustments' made to it so the monarch, who revealed he had cancer in February, has time to rest.
Buckingham Palace has released details of King and Queen's tour of Australia and Samoa, but the trip will not include New Zealand. An earlier plan to include a visit to New Zealand had to be cancelled 'on doctor's advice', with 'tough decisions' taken on the remainder of the programme for the trip, which will take place from 18-26 October. With the King's ongoing cancer treatment, 'subtle adjustments' have been made to the busy schedule to allow time for rest.
The royal couple will attend a barbeque in Sydney and visit the iconic opera house perched on the harbour. And perhaps most poignantly the King, who revealed he had cancer in February, will meet two cancer doctors. Both are Australians of the Year who were recognised for their work on skin cancer. Australia currently has the world's highest rates of melanoma.
