Queen Camilla's fears for 'exhausting' Australia tour amid King Charles' health update

A royal insider has revealed Queen Camilla's fears as she and King Charles prepare for their 'exhausting' Australia tour this week. The visit will be historic, as it's Charles' first as reigning monarch, however it is believed to be "extremely exhausting" for Camilla who "doesn't like flying".

The couple will land in Australia on Friday, then fly to Samoa on Wednesday October 23, before heading back home on Saturday October 26. Editor-in-chief of Majesty Magazine, Ingrid Seward, told Fabulous, "Queen Camilla is 76. She gets very tired because she's not born to this royal life. I know she's been in it a long time, but she's not born to it, and I think people sometimes forget that Camilla's never actually had a job.

"I think she finds these trips extremely exhausting. She doesn't like flying," she added, saying that Camilla isn't a "great traveller" and often "feels uncomfortable".

"So it's not the most pleasurable thing to do for her to whisk across to Australia although it might be really exciting for somebody younger."

Camilla and Charles' 'unusual' Australia tour

Royal editor for The Times, Kate Mansey, revealed on the Royals with Roya and Kate podcast that this tour will be different due to Charles' health issues.

"In Australia, we are not going to see evening functions, there's no State Dinner in Australia, which is unusual," she said. "They are paring back for health reasons, so there are no late nights.

"They've said he's pausing his treatment during the tour, so they must be reasonably reassured that he can go that period of time.

"He's been having treatment for quite some time now, since the beginning of the year, and on medical advice, he can pause it while he's away and will resume it when he comes back."

She continued, "This doesn't mean he's finished his cancer treatment—there's been no announcement on that point of view—but it is a sign that he's perhaps well enough.

"The fact that he's going is quite a reassuring sign from his doctors and the palace."
