Sources from Buckingham Palace assure that the monarch is looking forward to resuming his international agenda.
King Charles III maintains his optimism intact in the midst of his recovery process from the cancer he suffers from. In fact, sources from Buckingham Palace assure that the sovereign is eager to resume his international agenda as soon as possible, after receiving "positive" results in his first months of treatment against the disease.
If all goes well, it is likely that the head of state and his wife, Queen Camilla, will not have to cancel the trip to Samoa that is scheduled for next October, related to the new summit of the Commonwealth countries, that is, the Commonwealth of Nations that once formed part of the British Empire.
"The king is looking forward to getting back to work. He is full of energy," a source revealed to The Sun newspaper, who adds that Charles III is "very excited" with the medical progress made so far.
On this possible trip to Oceania, the monarch could also visit Australia and New Zealand.
In any case, Charles III's agenda will not be as busy as usual, since the sovereign needs "time to rest" and thus avoid so many commitments having a detrimental effect on his condition.
The king's last public appearance came last Easter Sunday, when he attended a church service with the queen at Windsor Castle.
When the king's illness became public, the Prime Minister of Australia, Anthony Albanese, expressed his hope that the monarch's health would allow him to make such a long trip.
"The king has shown his compassion for Australians affected by recent natural disasters," he said of the fires that devastated part of his country.
"Likewise, Australians have shown their compassion and support for the king over his recent cancer diagnosis. The king, queen and members of the royal family will always be welcome in Australia. My government remains in talks with states and territories about a possible royal visit," he said.
If that trip finally takes place, it will be the first official visit by a British monarch to Australia in 13 years.
