The 75-year-old became king in September 2022 following the death of his mother
King Charles ' health is 'heading in a very positive trajectory' as he reaches the second anniversary of his accession to the throne, it has been reported.
“Of course it’s been a stressful year for Her Majesty, too, but there was never a sense of despondency, only a determination that they would get through this, as with so many other challenging issues in the past.” On Saturday, the King was seen chuckling and appearing to wipe away tears of laughter as he and Camilla watched the annual Braemar Gathering.
The King and Queen are gearing up for an important tour to Australia and Samoa in the autumn – their first major overseas trip since news of Charles’s cancer was announced. The King spent around three months away from public-facing duties and returned in April with a visit to a cancer centre in London. He had a high profile run of engagements through the next few months with D-Day 80th anniversary commemorations in Portsmouth and Normandy, Trooping the Colour, the incoming Japanese state visit, a short trip to Jersey and Guernsey, the appointment of a new Prime Minister after Labour’s landslide general election, and the State Opening of Parliament.
“That has obviously slowly dialled up as the program of treatment and recovery continued, with the result that the King is off on a 12,000 mile trip to Australia and Samoa in a few weeks’ time.” The third year of his reign will see a continuation of his so-called “4Cs” – his guiding principles of “culture, Commonwealth, community and climate” – with an additional sideline theme of “cancer”.
