King Charles III will embark on a demanding journey to Australia and Samoa in October, traversing a vast distance spanning 12 time zones. The palace’s announcement on Sunday underscores the importance of this trip for the 75-year-old monarch, who has been steadily returning to his public responsibilities after a break necessitated by his cancer diagnosis earlier this year in February. The upcoming visit will test the king’s resilience as he continues to recuperate from his recent cancer treatment.
