Prince Charles and Camilla announce exciting royal tour to mark Queen's Jubilee

Prince Charles and the Duchess of Cornwall are heading off an exciting overseas royal tour next month.

It has been confirmed they will be visiting Canada in May to help mark the Queen's Platinum Jubilee celebrations.

While in Canada, Charles and Camilla will meet local communities throughout several different regions of the Commonwealth country.

These include Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada's Capital Region and the Northwest Territories.

Few details have so far been released about the tour but further details of the trip are set to be announced in due course.

They last visited the country in 2017 when they met Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and marked the 150th anniversary of the Canadian Confederation.

The prince has visited Canada 18 times, while Camilla has been four times.

Canada is the overseas country most visited by the Queen, but the monarch, now nearly 96, called time on her international tours a number of years ago.

As the Queen is now in her Platinum Jubilee year and travel has opened up, many of the royals have been packing their bags and heading overseas.

Last month, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge went to the Caribbean for a week-long tour, which saw them stop off in Belize, Jamaica and the Bahamas. At the same time Charles and Camilla were in the Republic of Ireland.

This weekend, Princess Anne was in Australia to open the Royal 200th Sydney Royal Easter Show on Saturday.

She has now arrived in Papua New Guinea to continue her southern hemisphere tour along with her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence.

They were greeted on the tarmac of Jacksons International Airport by Prime Minister James Marape, and Anne was presented with a garland of flowers before she inspected a guard of honour.
