For about eight months, King Charles III, King of the United Kingdom, has continued to receive treatment after suffering from cancer, but doctors issued a decision to stop treatment soon, for a period of 11 days, while he is on his prominent royal tour in Australia next week.
King Charles was diagnosed with cancer in February of this year, and has been receiving treatment on a weekly basis since then, while the Royal Palace did not mention the form of treatment and did not specify the type of cancer that the King suffers from.
However, the British newspaper Daily Mail reported on Monday that the 75-year-old king has been told by doctors that he can take 11 days off from his treatment when he and Queen Camilla leave for Australia on October 18, accompanied by a traveling doctor.
The tour will see the King visit Sydney and Canberra, and then Charles will travel to the South Pacific country of Samoa, where he will attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (COGM).
The newspaper said that the king will continue his cancer treatment until he travels, and will resume his treatment as soon as he returns to the United Kingdom, after a 30,000-mile round trip.
Based on his mother’s principle that “a king must be seen to be believed,” the king has sought to maintain a high profile and a steady, if modified, schedule of events since his diagnosis after treatment for an enlarged prostate at the beginning of the year, when he traveled around London, even in During cancer treatment, he often did so in a party car with large windows so he could be photographed.
The trip to the southern hemisphere is an example of how palace planners sought to keep the king in the public eye while paying attention to his health, and a full day of rest was included in the king’s trip schedule.
The newspaper explains that the trip was originally significantly longer with a tour of New Zealand, which was canceled over the summer and the King’s ability to undertake the tour was seen as evidence of his resilience and the successful progress of his treatment.
However, as the Daily Beast news site reported last week, the king’s decision to announce his cancer diagnosis forced his relatives and royal staff to think about what King William V’s reign might mean for them.
