King Charles Undertakes Record 175 Engagements Amid Cancer Treatment

King Charles has experienced his busiest and most widely-traveled year since ascending the throne, despite battling cancer. Over the past 12 months, he carried out official engagements on 175 days, a marked increase from previous years, and traveled the furthest distance from the UK since his accession, including visits to Australia, Samoa, Canada, Poland, and Italy. Notably, he became the first British monarch to address the Italian parliament and marked significant commemorations such as the 80th anniversary of Holocaust Memorial Day in Poland and the 80th anniversary of VE Day. The King also celebrated his 20th wedding anniversary with Queen Camilla and reached the milestone of 1,000 days on the throne. His domestic engagements spanned across the UK, demonstrating a demanding schedule that included various towns and regions. These activities were documented by the PA news agency using the Court Circular, the official record of royal family engagements.
