“It was wonderful to welcome King Charles and Queen Camilla to Australia recently, that had a very successful visit and His Majesty is very engaged and I hope that the Prince and Princess of Wales are able to visit as well and we are hopeful that might occur in the coming period.”
Appearing on Sunrise, Jobson gave the likely timeframes.
“The period, I think, is probably going to be the summer of the UK when the kids not in school,” Jobson told Sunrise.
“I can’t see William and Kate going down to Australia leaving the kids behind.”
Princess Kate and Prince William last visited Australia in 2014.
Their visit included official visits to Sydney, Uluru, and Canberra.
Prince William’s mother Princess Diana previously toured Australia in 1983.
