Treatment for cancer
The British royal couple will go ‘Down Under’ for the first five days of the state tour. For this time, King Charles is resting treatment for cancer. Among the many meetings, it is also planned to visit two professors. They treat people affected by melanoma, one of the most common types of cancer in Australia.
