King Charles And Queen Camilla To Visit Australia In October

King Charles And Queen Camilla To Visit Australia In October

King Charles and Queen Camilla are heading to Australia later this year and will carry out engagements in Canberra and NSW.

King Charles III and Queen Camilla will travel to Australia later this year, the federal government has confirmed.

Charles, 75, who is undergoing treatment for cancer, and his wife, 76, will visit Canberra and NSW in October.

It will be Charles' first visit to Australia since he became king and the first by a reigning monarch since 2011, when Queen Elizabeth II travelled to Canberra, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth. 

He has visited 15 times previously and in 1966 spent time at a school in Victoria.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said planning for the visit was well underway.

"I am honoured to welcome the King and Queen on their first royal visit to Australia later this year, they are always welcome visitors," he said.

"The King has a deep regard for our great nation, and has always spoken warmly of the time he has spent here and the astounding beauty of our extraordinary continent. 

"I look forward welcoming the King and Queen back to Australia for this important visit."
