It seems New Zealand is in for a royal visit in 2024.
The Sydney Morning Herald reported this morning that Aotearoa is set to see a visit from the monarch himself with King Charles and Queen Camilla scheduled to visit Australia and New Zealand in October next year.
Speaking on the condition of anonymity, a former diplomat who has been in contact with the 75-year-old King, told the Australian news outlet, “King Charles is planning to visit Australia and New Zealand in October.” He continued to say the visit will coincide with the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (Chogm) in Samoa.
Held every two years, Chogm 2024 has been pencilled in to start on October 21 and is expected to run for one week. Newshub reported the bi-annual event brings together 56 developed and developing nations including Australia, Canada, India, New Zealand and Malaysia.
