Despite facing personal health challenges this year, King Charles and Queen Camilla will host the Amir of Qatar and his wife for a state visit in December. The visit, which includes a lavish banquet, marks a symbolic end to a difficult period for the royal family.
King Charles and Queen Camilla are set to end one of the toughest and most challenging years of their lives with a touch of regal glamour, as the pair prepare to host their second state visit of the year in December. The King, 75 and Queen, 77 are due to host the Amir of Qatar and his first wife and consort on December 3 and December 4, Buckingham Palace has announced - less than a year on since the monarch revealed to the world he was battling cancer.
The state visit will also mark a poignant close to what is easily one of the most gruelling years the royal family has faced in recent times, with 2024 having seen both King Charles and Princess Kate diagnosed with undisclosed forms of cancer, Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York facing skin cancer just one year after beating breast cancer - and Princess Anne having suffered a serious horse riding accident earlier this Summer.
While it is currently unknown which members of the royal family will be on hand to support the King and Queen during the Amir’s visit, in previous years both Prince William and Kate Middleton have typically taken on key roles, including meeting guests upon arrival and accompanying them to Horse Guards Parade, which is close to Buckingham Palace.
