A TRIP to the Indian subcontinent would mark a significant boost in the King's health as he continues his recovery from cancer.

It may also signal a resumption of his plans to visit India, Pakistan and Bangladesh, which had to be abandoned after the Queen's death in September 2022.

And No10 is keen on drafting in Charles and Camilla to launch a charm offensive as Britain seeks to establish significant economic links in a post-Brexit world.

A source said: "It's hugely encouraging to be able to make such plans for the King and Queen given the year the monarch has had, but it's very much full steam ahead.

"A tour of the Indian subcontinent is in the offing, which will be of huge political and cultural significance for Britain on the world stage.
