King Charles will likely skip New Zealand during his upcoming tour to the South Pacific. 

According to The Mirror, he and Queen Camilla are set to visit Australia and Samoa - but have dropped New Zealand. 

The visit was never officially announced - just rumoured to be on the agenda. 

UK Correspondent Gavin Grey told Mike Hosking “His Majesty is said to be like a caged tiger - desperate to do more, while undergoing chemotherapy and having the cancer diagnosis.” 

Grey said “It’s been decided he’d be better off doing a ten-day trip.”
