With the King and Queen currently undertaking the second official tour of the new reign in France, a royal expert explains why it is more important than ever that the royals launch a "charm offensive" in the Commonwealth.Their Majesties previously visited Germany and were due to travel to France on the same tour but were forced to reschedule - at President Macron's request - after riots in the French Capital made it too dangerous. With two visits to Europe under his belt, and no announced plans for any tours in any major Commonwealth countries, questions have been asked when the King will travel to other countries where he is Head of State, such as Australia, New Zealand and Canada.This is especially true after ongoing suggestions that some realms may wish to follow in Barbados' example and strike out on their own.
