Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla will visit Antigua and Barbuda later this year as part of an official Autumn Tour of the Caribbean.
The Royal Visit will coincide with their attendance at the 2026 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, which Antigua and Barbuda will host in November.
According to a statement from Royal Communications, Their Majesties will undertake the tour from Tuesday, October 27, to Wednesday, November 4, 2026.
The visit is expected to be one of the major highlights surrounding CHOGM, which will bring Commonwealth leaders and delegations from around the world to Antigua and Barbuda.
