Royals Shine in Caribbean: Charles & Camilla's Tour Finale

King Charles and Queen Camilla concluded their six-day visit to Antigua and Barbuda on November 3, 2026, marking the end of their autumn Caribbean tour. New portraits released on November 1 captured the couple smiling brightly, taken by royal photographer Chris Jackson. The King wore a traditional Antiguan madras pocket square, while the Queen chose a turquoise dress and jewelry from the late Queen's collection.

The tour, which also included solo visits by Charles to the Bahamas and Guyana, was significantly shaped by discussions on slavery reparations. While Prime Minister Andy Burnham offered talks regarding an apology to affected nations, he ruled out financial reparations. King Charles expressed profound sorrow over the transatlantic slave trade.

Earlier in their visit, the King and Queen were humorously caught in a sudden downpour during an independence parade, an event they shared with good spirits. On November 5, Antigua's Prime Minister reiterated his personal wish for the nation to become a republic, a sentiment expressed within an hour of the King attending a Commonwealth church service.
