King Charles's Caribbean tour takes in Antigua's 45th anniversary

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.
