Britain’s King Charles III and Queen Camilla are set to embark on a journey to Australia in October, as announced by Buckingham Palace. This trip will mark the 75-year-old monarch’s first visit to a Commonwealth realm since assuming the throne, highlighting the royal couple's ceremonial role in various realms including Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. The visit will be in conjunction with the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa, where Charles serves as the head of the organization for the first time. The theme of the meeting is “One Resilient Future: Transforming Our Common Wealth,” emphasizing unity among the 56 member states. Despite questions about the choice to skip New Zealand on this tour, the decision was made to prioritize Charles’s health and recovery. This visit to Australia will be a significant moment to gauge the public's perception of Charles as a head of state in the Commonwealth nation, which has grappled with the debate of retaining or severing ties with the monarchy.
