King Charles' health on the up as he plans Australia trip

At the beginning of the year, the media was electrified by the news that King Charles III is battling cancer. The monarch underwent treatment while trying to fulfill his royal duties. The latest information about the king's health is quite encouraging.

A royal source, cited by "Daily Mail," indicates that the king's health is heading in a "very good" direction. This positive news came just before Charles III celebrates the second anniversary of ascending the British throne. This year has not been easy for the British monarch. He received a cancer diagnosis and underwent treatment.

Despite everything, he tried to remain as active as his illness allowed. He wanted to assure his subjects that he could still fulfill his duties. Fortunately, the treatment appears to have had positive effects.

Health must remain the number one priority, although everything is heading in a very positive direction — the source conveyed.

"From the very beginning of this health challenge, the king determined to be as public as he could so that people could be reassured by what he was able to do under the circumstances, by doctors' recommendations," the source added. Also, Queen Camilla, while opening a new oncology center in Bath, revealed that King Charles III "is doing very well".

King Charles, along with Camilla, is preparing for a significant trip to Australia and Samoa in the fall. It will be their first long overseas trip since the announcement of Charles's cancer diagnosis. Efforts were made to ensure that the trip would not be too demanding for the recovering monarch. In addition to the planned meetings, the monarch will have time to catch his breath and rest.

At the beginning of his treatment, King Charles stepped back from most of his royal duties. For three months, he did not participate in public meetings, where he was represented by his wife or other members of the monarchy. In April, King Charles III appeared at an oncology center in London, where he met with patients and staff. Since then, he has been appearing in public regularly.
