"The Palace’s unwillingness to rush out an announcement is entirely understandable, given that they still hope Charles will be able to attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government conference in Samoa, despite his ongoing cancer fight," he said.

Missing New Zealand is a great loss, and it will be a source of great regret for him, because, to be honest, he probably won’t be doing it again. But it’s frankly incredible that he is still doing Australia, and that should be celebrated."The trip to Oceania will be Charles's first royal tour since announcing that he was diagnosed with cancer.
