King Charles's autumn tour announcement makes one thing crystal clear - could it be the start of a new royal travel tradition?

King Charles III watches the racing from the Royal Box as he attends day one of Royal Ascot 2026.

The King is still on holiday at Balmoral but work never stops when you're monarch and plans for a major overseas tour in the autumn have just been confirmed. Buckingham Palace announced that King Charles and Queen Camilla will undertake a royal visit to Antigua and Barbuda in October before attending the 2026 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting.

This will be the couple's first overseas trip since the US State Visit in April and it looks like His Majesty has started an intriguing new travel tradition. Like last time, Charles's schedule includes solo visits to other nations - in this case The Bahamas and Guyana.
