King Charles and Queen Camilla will visit three Caribbean nations later this year. The week-long tour will include Antigua and Barbuda, The Bahamas, and Guyana.

Buckingham Palace announced the planned visit on Wednesday.

The main reason for the trip is the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, also known as CHOGM. Antigua and Barbuda will host the meeting from November 1 to 4 this year.

King Charles and Queen Camilla will attend CHOGM during their visit to Antigua and Barbuda. The meeting will bring together leaders from Commonwealth countries.

Charles is the King of Antigua and Barbuda. He also serves as Head of the Commonwealth.

The Commonwealth includes more than 50 countries. The group developed from the former British Empire.

Antigua and Barbuda will play a key role in the royal tour. The country will host the Commonwealth meeting, which is the main event on the couple’s Caribbean itinerary.

The visit will also take the King and Queen to The Bahamas and Guyana. Buckingham Palace said the full tour will last for one week.

The announcement confirms that the royal couple will visit Antigua and Barbuda during the period of CHOGM. The country will welcome Commonwealth leaders for the meeting from November 1 to 4.

Charles will attend the meeting as Head of the Commonwealth. He will also visit as King of Antigua and Barbuda.

The planned trip will therefore bring the King and Queen to the country at a significant time. Antigua and Barbuda will host leaders from across the Commonwealth during the four-day meeting.

The visit forms part of a wider Caribbean tour. The couple will make three stops during the trip.

Antigua and Barbuda will be joined by The Bahamas and Guyana on the tour schedule. Buckingham Palace confirmed all three destinations on Wednesday.

The royal couple will spend one week visiting the Caribbean. Their attendance at CHOGM in Antigua and Barbuda will serve as the main purpose of the trip.

Further details about the tour were not included in the announcement.
