The royal correspondents are unanimous, Buckingham’s worst job is being the king’s doctor. Charles III has two. Doctors Michael Dixon and Fiona Butler accompanied him on the official trip to Oceania. From London to Canberra via Sydney, then the Samoa Islands, nothing was left to chance for this eleven-day journey, which begins Monday October 21 after a weekend of rest in Australia. The king, who still suffers from cancer, will travel more than 48,000 km. Exceptionally, he was authorized by his medical team to suspend his chemotherapy, which he started last February, while he traveled.
This shows if this “autumn tour” is important to him. It almost never happened. In January, as soon as the diagnosis was made, the royal medical staff had only one obsession: to prevent their patient, whose immune system would be damaged by chemo, from any risk of infection. The task is not simple. Having become king after seven decades in the shadow of the throne, crowned for only eight months, Charles is in a hurry to make his mark.
