King Charles visited Antigua and Barbuda in October and November 2026 for the country’s 45th independence anniversary. Queen Camilla was scheduled to join him for a church service and an Independence Day parade.
Buckingham Palace announced the overseas trip in August. The Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting is also being held in Antigua and Barbuda from 1 to 4 November.
Prime Minister Gaston Browne told the Earl and Countess of Wessex in April that Antigua wished to one day become a republic. The republic question is separate from the visit.
