King Charles is reportedly keen to go ahead with plans for a State visit to Australia. The 75-year-old monarch has been undergoing treatment for an undisclosed form of cancer.

The disease was picked up during a hospital visit to deal with an enlarged prostate. He is also believed to be hoping to attend the Trooping of the Color to mark his official birthday celebrations in London in June. He canceled all of his public-facing royal duties as he began his cancer treatment, but was seen out and about again when he attended the Easter Sunday service.
