The decision comes after King Charles and Queen Camilla announced a change to their own schedules as a result of British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak revealing a general election would take place on Thursday July 4, 2024.

Releasing a statement on Wednesday, the royal couple confirmed all royal engagements “which may appear to divert attention or distract from the election campaign,” had been canceled or postponed. Buckingham Palace said the King and Queen sent their “sincere apologies” to those affected.

The news comes after King Charles met with the PM on Wednesday and agreed with his request to dissolve Parliament.
