Royals Down Under
Buckingham Palace has released more details about King Charles and Queen Camilla’s Royal tour Down Under next month. In their first visit to Australia since Charles became King, the Royals will spend 5 days here from 18 to 23 October, visiting Sydney and Canberra before heading to Samoa for this year’s CHOGM. In Canberra, the King and Queen will attend a formal reception in Parliament House, lay a wreath at the War Memorial and meet with CSIRO scientists researching bushfires. The Sydney leg of the trip will be more relaxed, with a barbecue on Sydney Harbour planned. While he’s here, the King will meet with Australians of the Year Georgina Long and Richard Scolyer to discuss their groundbreaking research into cancer treatment, which he’s been undergoing since his own diagnosis early this year.
