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.

Before travelling to CHOGM, King Charles will undertake a Royal Visit to The Bahamas, where he also serves as Head of State.

His Majesty will then make a State Visit to Guyana at the invitation of the President of Guyana and at the request of the United Kingdom Government.

The visit to Guyana will commemorate 60 years of bilateral relations between Guyana and the United Kingdom.

Royal Communications said the Autumn Tour will celebrate the communities, cultures and natural environment of countries within the Commonwealth family.

Further details about the programmes and official engagements to be undertaken by the King and Queen will be announced in due course.
