King Charles III and Queen Camilla will visit three countries in and around the Caribbean when he travels to the region for the Commonwealth Heads of Government meeting, which begins Nov. 1 in St. John’s, the capital of Antigua and Barbuda.
Charles’ autumn tour will begin Oct. 27 in the Bahamas, one of the 14 countries other than the United Kingdom where he is head of state.
He will then travel to Guyana for a state visit marking 60 years of bilateral relations between Britain and the nation on South America’s northern coast. Guyana, a former British colony, became a self-governing dominion in 1966 and a fully independent republic in 1970.
Charles is the symbolic head of the Commonwealth, an association of 56 independent countries, many of which have historic ties to Britain. Its members include major economic powers such as nations Australia, Canada and India, as well as small island nations like Tuvalu in the South Pacific and the three Caribbean nations the king will visit later this year.
The Commonwealth heads of government meet every two years to discuss shared challenges, strengthen cooperation and look for ways to promote development.
