The King's health is heading in a 'very positive' direction after his cancer diagnosis earlier this year, a royal source has said.
The update comes as King Charles, 75, prepares to mark the second anniversary of his accession to the throne on Sunday.
The King endured a difficult second year as sovereign with both him and his daughter-in-law the Princess of Wales undergoing treatment for cancer.
King Charles has coped with the past year with a 'determination to be as public as he was able' to reassure the nation about his capabilities.
The King and Queen are gearing up for an important tour to Australia and Samoa in the autumn - their first major overseas trip since news of Charles's cancer was announced.
'Health has to remain the number one priority, albeit heading in a very positive trajectory,' the source said.
Crathie Kirk, the Scottish church where the nation's longest-reigning monarch used to worship, is very close to the castle in which Elizabeth died peacefully on September 8, 2022, at the age of 96.
The King and Queen will go on tour to Australia and then Samoa - for a state visit and then the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting - from October 18 to 26, Buckingham Palace says. In Australia they’ll visit Sydney and Canberra.

That’s exactly what’s happened with a bronze statue of the late monarch unveiled last week in Northern Ireland.
The local government, Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council, claims it shows the queen in “a dignified pose, reflecting her grace, steadfastness and lifelong dedication to public service.”.
