King Charles taking 'two doctors' and 'blood supply' on upcoming royal tour amid cancer battle


As King Charles and Queen Camilla prepare to embark on a Royal Tour of Australia and Samoa, medical plans for the King, who has been battling cancer, are in place

King Charles is said to be taking two doctors and a supply of his own blood when he embarks on his upcoming tour of Australia and Samoa, with his wife, Queen Camilla, by his side. The 77-year-old monarch, who was diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer at the start of this year, is said to have a team of medics on standby at all times, day or night, during the tour, which will take place from October 18 to 26. Although the King will have a number of medical professionals on hand to ‘monitor him closely’ during the trip, it is thought that the head of the Royal Household, Michael Dixon will not be travelling with them.
