I'm John Batcher with my colleague Gregory Coppley, Defense and Foreign Affairs editor and publisher.

King Charles Report, Charles was in Australia to great celebration and then he was in Samoa for the Commonwealth meeting of the Commonwealth heads.

I noted, though, however, that it was consistent reporting, not being nosy,

but that he ordered this to happen, saying I'm going to these meetings, despite the fact that he's still in care for what is understood

to be a cancer that requires attention.

Those of you who have known cancer, I have it's exhausting it drains you and the

treatments themselves can drain you even waiting for them can drain you

This is a very brave man Gregory Gregory, and he's made some remarks

about how he's going to do this as long as he can. Very brave man.

I agree with you there. King Charles suspended all of his cancer treatments for this

11 days that he was away on the road in Australia and then in Apia, Samoa. And the

interesting thing is that he's already during this treatment been maintaining a heavy workload and basically it's only his wife at Queen Camilla who is able to get him to sit down and eat lunch because he won't eat lunch

normally and to ease his burden a little.

So when he says he's going back to work, it does make one worry a little bit because how can he step

up an already heavy workload under this medical pressure.

But he's showing incredible good heart. He was clearly absolutely lifted in his

spirits by his visits to Australia and to Samoa they they gave him that absolute opportunity to mingle with the people.

And I say that not in a superficial sense, he really makes connections. The impression that he left in Australia,

and he's been there many times, he went to school in Ballarat, in, sorry, Geelong in Victoria in his youth, but he's been there many, many times,

loves Australia, knows the colloquialism, he helped with a barbecue when he was in Sydney

this last time, but even in Appia his speech to the

Chogam leaders was warm it was positive and it absolutely built credibility.
