Charles in the Channel Islands

On Monday 15 July and Tuesday 16th July the Channel Islands will host a visit of Their Majesties King Charles III and Queen Camilla, their first visit since His Majesty's Accession to the throne.

The visit will highlight the special and historic relationship between the Channel Islands and the Crown which stretches back centuries.

The Royal couple will start their visit in Jersey, where the focus of the visit will be on St Helier.

It will include a Special Sitting of the States Assembly and the Royal Court followed by a large-scale, open-air exposition which will showcase the best of Jersey in one area.

Then the King and Queen will stay overnight at Government House before travelling on to Guernsey. The visit will include a special sitting of the States of Deliberation and centuries-old ceremony of homage to His Majesty, held outdoors on the St Peter Port seafront where islanders can come to watch the events.

Their Majesties will then head to the Crown Pier to discover more about Guernsey's local environment, heritage and traditions, including ongoing work to promote Guernesiais, local food production, and biodiversity initiatives.

Take a look back at some of the King and Queen's previous visits to the Channel Islands:

Charles in the Channel Islands

In May 1995 Prince Charles visited Sark. Mary Nightingale, an ice cream maker on Sark, in the Channel Islands, digs into her cycle-borne freezer to find one of her products for Britain's Prince of Wales who was visiting the island Wednesday to mark the 50th anniversary of its liberation at the end of the World War II. Mary received a loan of 5,000 from the Prince's Trust to help increase the size of her business.
