Another outlet Connected To India claimed, “The holistic centre, where the couple is staying during their three-day trip, is well known for rejuvenative treatment, including yoga and meditation sessions and therapies.

“They have also been enjoying long walks around the centre and going to organic farm,” the outlet quoted the source as saying.

Commenting on the First Post tweet, royal expert Kate Mansey said, “A Buckingham Palace spokesman confirms reports in the Indian press that the King and Queen stopped at an Indian retreat on the way home."

She further said, “It’s a favourite spot for the King and Queen who have visited several times before. The King will resume his cancer treatment in the UK.”

According to Reuters, King Charles and Camilla arrived in Bengaluru on October 27 and had since been at the Soukya International Holistic Health Centre, where they had enjoyed yoga and meditation sessions.
