King Charles III temporarily pauses cancer treatment for a royal tour of Australia and Samoa.

King Charles III, diagnosed with cancer in February, is temporarily pausing his treatment for a royal tour of Australia and Samoa starting October 18. His nephew described the past year as a "nightmare," but Charles remains focused on recovery. The visit, his first as monarch and to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, includes multiple engagements and meetings with officials. He will resume treatment upon returning to the UK.
