Just In: Royal news – live: King Charles to ‘pause’ cancer treatment as Meghan Markle debuts surprise new look…. Read More

King Charles is to temporarily “pause” his cancer treatment while taking part in a high-profile overseas visit after getting the go-ahead from doctors, according to reports.

The monarch, 75, who will make the nine-day visit with Queen Camilla, was first diagnosed with an undisclosed form of cancer earlier this year after a routine procedure to treat an enlarged prostate.

It is understood that the monarch will continue his treatment upon his return from Australia and Samoa, following 11 days of travelling. His doctor will accompany him on what is the most significant overseas tour he has made since the diagnosis.

Planned engagements for the trip include a visit to the Australian War Memorial and a fleet review of the Royal Australian Navy at Sydney Harbour.

Meanwhile, the Duchess of Sussex, 43, has debuted a new look during a surprise appearance at a children’s hospital in Los Angeles over the weekend.

Meghan, 43, stepped out at the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles 2024 Gala on Saturday (3 October) in a red dress she previously wore to the New York Salute to Freedom Gala in 2021.

She paired the dress with a never-before-seen beach waves hairstyle – typically achieved by letting hair dry into its natural curls.

The Independent has reached out to Buckingham Palace for comment.
