King Charles is planning a landmark South Asian tour in 2024, visiting India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, following his recovery from cancer. According to UK newspaper The Mirror report, the tour, of great political and cultural significance, is being organised with medical guidance and foreign office collaboration. Earlier plans for a regional visit were cancelled in 2022 after Queen Elizabeth's death. This follows his successful 11-day South Pacific tour in October, marking his first overseas trip as Head of State and Commonwealth leader. Palace officials are optimistic about resuming a full overseas schedule, with Charles and Camilla seen as key ambassadors to strengthen Britain’s global relationships.
The coronation saw the presence of several personalities such as Katy Perry and Sonam Kapoor among others, who were part of the celebrations on Sunday.
