Charles, known as the Duke of Normandy on Jersey and Guernsey, is making the trip with Camilla.
Charles and Camilla will travel to Jersey on Monday and then to Guernsey on Tuesday in their first visit to the two bailiwicks – which are Crown Dependencies off the north-west coast of France – since the King acceded to the throne.
The trip will end the day before the planned State Opening of Parliament on Wednesday, which is also Camilla’s 77th birthday. On Guernsey, the King and Camilla will attend a special sitting of the States of Deliberation and ancient ceremony of homage to the monarch, held outdoors on the St Peter Port seafront where islanders can watch the events.Charles and Camilla will also head to the Crown Pier to learn about the island’s heritage and traditions, biodiversity initiatives, local food, and the work to promote the language of Guernesiais – also known as Guernsey French.
When the visit was announced in June, Bailiff of Guernsey Sir Richard McMahon said: “It will be a great privilege to welcome Their Majesties to the Bailiwick for the first time as King and Queen, the year after their coronation. “We are looking forward to showcasing our initiatives to support those efforts and promote sustainability across a range of sectors.
Time constraints mean the couple will not be able to travel to the islands of Alderney and Sark, which are part of the Bailiwick of Guernsey.The Lieutenant-Governor of Jersey, Vice Admiral Jerry Kyd, had previously said Charles and Camilla were “looking forward greatly” to the trip.
