King Charles is determined to attend the meeting in Samoa on October 21, despite medical advice cautioning against extensive travel
King Charles is reportedly set to ignore medical advice and make the journey to Samoa for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting on October 21, despite his ongoing battle with cancer.
It has been reported that palace aides have not yet visited Samoa to plan for the King and Queen Consort's trip, which was supposed to include a state visit to Australia. A source disclosed to the Express the importance of the visit in terms of securing Australia's commitment to the Commonwealth amidst increasing republican sentiment.
Consisting of 56 member countries from across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean, and the Pacific, CHOGM will be hosted for the first time by a small island state, Samoa. "This is a meeting that the Firm is viewing as pivotal to maintaining its hold over the Commonwealth," the same source noted. Currently, palace aides are reassessing the proposed itinerary and will soon start preliminary plans, which include site visits to prepare for a downsized tour.
