| Prince Harry of Wales |
Prince Harry of Wales is on a two week visit to the
Caribbean as the Queen’s representative as the monarch no longer undertakes
long distance engagements. Six of the seven countries the prince will visit are
Commonwealths where the Queen is still head of state. Prince Harry will be
stopping at Antigua and Barbuda which are
celebrating 35 years since the end of direct British rule along with a visit to
Barbados and Guyana that are marking their 50 years since independence.
Prince Harry’s two-week visit to the West Indies will include visits to
seven countries, including Antigua and Barbuda, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia,
St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Grenada, Barbados and Guyana. Prince Harry’s itinerary included the
re-dedication for the island’s Clarence House in historic English Harbour. It wasn’t the first trip to the island for
Prince Harry, who first visited Antigua and Barbuda as a child with his mother,
Princess Diana. It will be Prince
Harry’s second official visit to the Caribbean following his first trip to the
West Indies in 2012, when he was representing Queen Elizabeth II during her
diamond jubilee.

| Prince Harry and Usain Bolt |
His itinerary will include a
wide range of engagements, from meetings with conservationists to talks with
well-known cultural figures and sporting stars. Indeed, his last visit to the Caribbean saw
a good-natured “race” between Prince Harry and Jamaican sporting legend Usain
Bolt.
