King Charles and Queen Camilla have locked in plans to visit Australia and Samoa in October but have called off a proposed trip to New Zealand on health advice as the king recovers from a cancer diagnosis.

The Australian government said on Monday that the king and queen would travel to the Australian Capital Territory and New South Wales during the visit, with further details to be confirmed later.
