The royal couple made a discreet landing at Bengaluru’s HAL airport on Saturday night after attending the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa from October 21-26. The visit, classified as “super private,” was planned without any public engagements or media interactions.

Their itinerary includes morning yoga and specialized wellness therapies at Soukya, a holistic health center known for its rejuvenation programs. Sources close to the development shared that the royal couple is taking this opportunity to unwind after an extensive tour through Oceania, which included stops in Australia and Samoa beginning October 18.

No special traffic restrictions were imposed around HAL airport or their route to Soukya, as the visit remains strictly personal. The couple’s wellness break underscores their commitment to natural health practices, with sources noting that Charles has long supported wellness and environmental causes. Their low-profile stay has, however, stirred quiet excitement in the city’s wellness community.
