THE KING AND QUEEN
AS A STATE VISIT TO AUSTR ALIA IS ANNOUNCED
HOW THEY ARE LEADING THE WAY AS THE ROYAL FAMILY RETURN TO A BUSY SCHEDULE OF TRIPS IN 2024
Sydney Harbour Bridge will no doubt provide a backdrop once more for a royal tour, with crowds expected to greet the couple as they did on their trip in 2015 (below)
The King will visit Australia this year as the royals return to a busy schedule of overseas travel.
After a year of transition, with the monarch and his heir the Prince of Wales getting to grips with their new roles, their diary will return to a more regular pace, complete with major spring and autumn tours.
While His Majesty already has three state visits under his belt, he has yet to see any of his 14 overseas realms as monarch.
‘WARM RELATIONSHIP’
But a trip to Samoa for October’s Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting means he and the Queen will be able to stop off in Australia and possibly New Zealand either en route or on the way back.
