King Charles III will not travel to Baku, Azerbaijan, for the annual COP climate conference later this year. This news is said to be particularly relieving for Queen Camilla, who has been watching the cancer-battling monarch's health "like a hawk."

This led a friend of Their Majesties to share, "Camilla will be pleased he is not going straight off to Azerbaijan. She didn’t particularly want him to go to Australia, and she will be encouraging him to take it easy once he gets back — never an easy task."

Queen Camilla has reportedly been advocating for King Charles III 'to slow down' his work since his cancer diagnosis.

The King and Queen are both set to jet off to Australia starting October 18 for their first tour of the Commonwealth realm since Charles III became monarch over two years ago. Their travels will end on October 26 as the King oversees the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting in Samoa.

It was recently revealed that His Majesty "will continue with his ongoing cancer treatment right up until he flies," but for 11 days, the King's physicians are "happy for it to be briefly stopped while he is away."

Inevitably, for many royal enthusiasts, it will be hard not to compare Charles III's first Australian tour with that of his predecessor Queen Elizabeth II's in 1954.

"The late Queen Elizabeth visited every state of Australia, every territory, including seven capital cities and 70 towns, in 58 days," royal correspondent Cameron Walker shared. "In contrast, the King is going to be spending, we understand, less than a week in Australia, and he's only going to be visiting Sydney and Canberra."

"As we knew, doctors had given the King the green light to travel. It is going to be the first long-haul travel the King has done since his cancer diagnosis," he added. "But it's very clear from the information I've received this afternoon that adaptions have been made. For example, New Zealand originally was on the agenda for the King and Queen to travel to — that has now been ruled out on doctor's advice."

Reflecting the King and Queen's advanced ages at 75 and 76, respectively, Walker further observed, "Time has been factored in for the King to rest between engagements and between travel. Of course, it's a long way to go, halfway across the world, in order to keep his energy levels up on that tour."

King Charles will 'pause' his cancer treatment during his visit to Australia and Samoa.

One royal insider stepped forward to share how the lack of royal travel to Commonwealth realms since the King's accession to the throne has "been unfortunate and concerning."

"All we have with the Crown is the past reign to compare it to, and although miles away a different era, Elizabeth II's comprehensive travels to her realms in 1953-54 is what was needed more so now than ever," they added. "We cannot fully blame the King or Princess of Wales for getting seriously ill, but the slimmed-down Crown nonsense needs to be lifted."

"Commonwealth representation is vital," the source concluded.
