As the leaves turn and the air grows crisp, Australians will have more than just the seasons change to talk about this year.

In a statement that has sparked conversations from the bustling streets of Sydney to the quietest corners of the Outback, Buckingham Palace has confirmed that King Charles III and Queen Camilla will grace Australian shores with a royal visit this October.

King Charles III, who ascended to the throne following the passing of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II, in September 2022, has had a challenging start to his reign.

Earlier this year, the King was diagnosed with cancer, casting uncertainty over his planned engagements, including the much-anticipated visit to Australia.

However, royal officials have confirmed that the King and Queen will visit New South Wales and the ACT as part of a broader royal tour to the Pacific region.

It will be one of King Charles' first major international tours since his coronation and his health scare.

‘Their Majesties The King and Queen will undertake an autumn tour in October 2024. This will include Royal Visits to Australia and Samoa, where their majesties will attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) 2024,’ a statement from Buckingham Palace said.

‘The King's doctors have advised that a further extension to their majesties' trip should be avoided at this time to prioritise His Majesty's continued recovery.’

‘As with all His Majesty's recent engagements, his programme in both countries will be subject to doctors' advice and any necessary modifications on health grounds.’

In a similar story, a Royal commentator revealed that King Charles felt a significant lack of closeness to his grandchildren and desired to see them more frequently.

A palace insider also revealed that King Charles addressed the jam dispute between him and Meghan Markle’s jam business.

The King said he wouldn’t ‘sink so low to compete with Meghan and her team. You can read more about the story here.

It's great their not coming to queensland because we don't want old Chuck and Donkey's ass here!
She has no right to be called queen - the double home wrecking old skank - the consort should be re-added. Better still he should never have been allowed to marry her!

Harsh, but that sure made me laugh!

Your remarks are uncalled for.l'm glad he got to eventually marry the woman he always loved .Poor Charles was pressured into marry Diana which was a disaster from the beginning.l like Camilla and she is a really nice person apparently.

Won't be bothering with either of them as I consider they are both nasty people who broke up marriages.
Princess Dianna was a beautiful innocent young girl when he took her into marriage and destroyed her bit by bit. Fancy the night before the wedding telling her he didn't love her.
Neither of them should be in the positions they now hold. They are two nasty people. How he could chose that ugly woman over beautiful Dianna!!!
Do not understand how the Queen - God rest her beautiful soul - I admired her for so long - could allow the marriage and then even worse allow them both to take the throne!!!!
No will not be bothering with any of their visit.

Well if Charles told her he didn't love her the night before the wedding she shouldn't have married him regardless of the consequences at least he was honest . Camilla was very attractive when she was young anyway looks are nothing it's their personality that counts and how the person gets on with them
