Key points
- William and Kate are weighing a return visit to Australia after 11 years.
- PM Anthony Albanese renewed the invitation during talks with King Charles.
- The couple last toured Australia in 2014 with baby Prince George.
- Plans would consider their three children’s schedules and public duties.
The Prince and Princess of Wales are considering a visit to Australia for the first time in more than a decade, according to the report. A renewed invitation was extended by Prime Minister Anthony Albanese following his meeting with King Charles at Balmoral. The royal household also shared images from the visit on social media. If confirmed, the trip would be William and Kate’s first to Australia since their April 2014 tour with infant Prince George. Any itinerary would need to account for their children—Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis—who are now older and have school commitments. Australian officials have signalled ongoing interest in hosting the couple, noting there is a standing invitation for members of the royal family. The potential tour would come amid a period of heightened public engagements for the monarchy and could include community events and meetings across multiple states.
