King set to scale back tour of Australia and cancel trip to New Zealand over health concerns
The King is expected to scale back his tour of Australia and completely cancel his trip to New Zealand after concerns were raised over his health.
Charles and Camilla had been set to travel around Australia, Samoa and New Zealand – but it is feared the monarch is doing “too much” as he continues his cancer recovery.
A royal source told the Mirror: “Naturally, it will be a bitter disappointment on both sides to not have the opportunity for the King and Queen to visit New Zealand, but of course all are aware of the King’s ongoing health and the need for him to pace himself.
‘”It’s very much hoped there will be further opportunities in the future.”
The newspaper reported that the Australia trip will be reduced to around six days and followed by a two-day break, before the royal couple tour Samoa for three days and likely do not continue on to New Zealand.

William seen sharing stage with Taylor Swift and Jon Bon Jovi in resurfaced pictures
Prince William has been seen sharing the stage with Taylor Swift and Jon Bon Jovi in resurfaced pictures and footage.
The trio performed Livin’ On A Prayer by Bon Jovi for a charity event at Kensington Palace in 2013.
Photographs show the three singing and dancing together, with Ms Swift in a white dress, and Bon Jovi and William both in suits. Bon Jovi is seen in the middle playing a guitar, while Ms Swift and the prince appear to lean in from either side to all sing into the standing microphone.
William later said he obeyed Ms Swift “like a puppy” when she asked for him to join her on stage.
The Sun reported he said in an interview in 2021: “I can’t believe I’m actually telling you this story – I turn up and Jon Bon Jovi and Taylor Swift are at the event, which nearly knocked me off my feet.
“And then, I went inside, met everybody, a lot of handshaking to do those nights, a lot of chatting. I try and be charming and interactive.
“She puts her hand on my arm, looks me in the eye and says: ‘Come on, William – let’s go and sing.’”
He added that he was “cringing” as he remembered the performance.

Royal history of Ascot racecourse
Charles and Camilla have become firm supporters of Royal Ascot since the death of Queen Elizabeth II, who rarely missed the Berkshire meet – one of the highlights of the racing calendar.
Over the past few days, they have watched some of the country’s leading jockeys, trainers and horses compete on the world famous course.
Ascot Racecourse was founded by Queen Anne in 1711, and has since received the support of a further twelve monarchs. The Ascot summer race meeting officially became a Royal week in 1911. The King and Queen are owner and breeder of many thoroughbred horses and share an interest in horses with many members of the family.
The names of the week’s races have a Royal theme, such as ‘King George V Stakes’, ‘Diamond Jubilee Stakes’ and ‘Windsor Castle Stakes’.
