King Charles and Queen Camilla have announced they will visit Australia and Samoa in October.

A statement from the royal family confirmed the king and queen’s visit would include engagements in Canberra and New South Wales, with further details to be announced “in due course”.

The royals will also attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), which will be held in Samoa between October 21 and 25.

Earlier this year, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese confirmed the king was planning a visit to Australia. Preparations began for a royal visit, however they were thrown into doubt by the king’s cancer diagnosis.

It marks the first visit to Australia from a reigning monarch since Queen Elizabeth II visited Canberra, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth in 2011, and the first from a new monarch since her visit in 1954.

She visited Australia 16 times while reigning.

King Charles and Queen Camilla last visited Australia in 2018 when the Commonwealth Games were hosted on the Gold Coast. The pair also visited the Northern Territory.

It was the latest of 15 visits by King Charles to Australia in an official capacity.

The visit will also be historical for Samoa, who are the first Pacific nation to host CHOGM.
