King Charles is set to resume a full schedule of royal tours in 2025 providing more regularity for the Royal Family, following a pared-back schedule due to his cancer diagnosis and chemotherapy treatment throughout 2024. A palace official said the public should expect more visits abroad from the King,72, and Queen Camilla following the couple's nine-day tour to Australia and Samoa . A senior Palace official said the King has "genuinely loved" the nine-day tour and "thrived" on the busy programme of engagements.
They added that it has lifted "his spirits, his mood and his recovery. In that sense, the tour - despite its demands - has been the perfect tonic." The senior Palace official said: "We're now working on a pretty normal looking full overseas tour programme for next year, which is a high for us to end on, to know that we can be thinking in those terms - subject to sign off by doctors.
"It is hard to overstate the joy that he takes from duty and service and being in public and seeing those crowds engaging with communities across the spectrum. That really does lift the spirits. You can see that.
" The location of the Spring and Autumn schedules, which are traditional periods for official overseas royal visits, have not been confirmed, and that decision will be made by the Foreign Office. The tour will need to be approved by the Foreign Secretary, Prime Minister - and the King's doctors - but the fact the plan is in motion is a reassuring step in Charles' cancer recovery . C.
