United Kingdom (Commonwealth Union)_ King Charles could be coming to Australia and New Zealand in 2024 marking the first time a sitting king has ever visited Australia.
Juliet Reiden, Editor at large of the Australian Women’s Weekly and author of The Royals in Australia, says the king has a long association with Australia.
“He has been here … 16 odd times, he did go to school here, he’s been here since he was a teenager, he knows a lot about Australia,” she told Tony Jones.
King Charles and Queen Camilla are attempting to make amends.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports that King Charles and Queen Camilla are considering a trip to Australia next year, since His Majesty is scheduled to attend the Commonwealth Summit in October in Samoa.
On social media, Chris Ship, ITV‘s royal editor conjectured that the monarchs would combine a visit to Australia with their journey to the Pacific for the October 21, 2024, Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM).
The Sydney-based journal was informed by an unidentified former diplomat that “King Charles is planning to visit Australia and New Zealand in October.”

The royal family has faced criticism for their lack of trips to in recent years to Australia and New Zealand.
Although the trip has not yet been formally confirmed by Buckingham Palace, an Australian government source stated that it would take place in October of next year.
The source added that it was very possible it would happen, and that it would be around the time of CHOGM that he would come, either before or after, since that would make sense.
