Welcome to the new thread for the King and Queen's official overseas tours and visits starting Oct. 1, 2021.
The old thread can be found here.
PoW and DssoC Official overseas travel 2019-present (http://www.royalinsight.net/forum/index.php?topic=90633.0)
At the request of the British Government, The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall will visit The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and The Arab Republic of Egypt from 16th - 19th November.
The tour will focus on the climate crisis and will explore how leaders can implement commitments following COP26.

Interesting, there are several RR's who knew this since beginning of September, stating that the Cambridge's will be in the UK fronting with the Queen the Remembrance events.
That seems pure speculation by RR even with the news of the tour. The RRs are constantly pushing them forward.
Remembrance is November 11, 5 days before the tour starts. There is no reason to think Charles and Camilla can't do both. They usually leave a day before their tour (more if a further destination like Australia especially Camilla) but that still leaves a generous gap.
I guess we will see.
Anyways I look forward to seeing this trip. I enjoy seeing these two on tour.

QuoteHis office, Clarence House, said the visit to Jordan, which will include a welcome from Jordanian King Abdullah and Queen Rania, was to mark Jordan's centenary and the importance the British government placed on its relationship with the Middle Eastern nation.
"The prince will focus on environmental issues, inter-faith dialogue, heritage preservation and the creation of jobs and opportunities for young people," Clarence House said. "The duchess will continue her commitment to supporting women, as well as girls? education."
The tour will conclude with a visit to Egypt which coincides with the end of Britain's hosting of the United Nations climate change summit COP26 and Egypt's nomination to assume the COP27 presidency, Charles's office said.
During the trip, the royals will meet President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi and the Grand Imam of Egypt?s al-Azhar.
Glad to see that the BRF are continuing to undertake overseas visits in 2021. I'm sure that the Hashemite Royals in Jordan will give them a very warm welcome.

Here's the PoW and DssoC being welcomed by TM in 2013 which I believe was the last time the pair were in Jordan for an official visit. Charles was there solo in 2015.

@TudorQueen -Yes I agree that the PoW and the DssoC would likely be present for Remembrance Day 2021.
Whilst in Rome, Charles and Jeff Bezos
We had a chance to discuss [fighting climate change and protecting our beautiful world] on the eve of #COP26 looking for solutions to heal our world, and how the

can help.

The British Government pays ALL the tour expenses. Charles and Camilla are travelling in behalf of HM Government.
Yes. Has anyone suggested otherwise? It?s an official tour. Not likely to happen in Jordan though the Egyptian govt is a bit more iffy, whenever these visits occur to any of the Arab kingdoms questions are raised about human rights abuses and/or the personal responsibilities of many of the rulers and their families that the BRF is so close to.

Just a little look at Egypt btw, below. Perhaps Charles can raise some of these issues, in between meeting and dining with the religious and political leaders of course.
?In 2020, Freedom House ranked Egypt as "Not Free" in its annual Freedom in the World report. It gave Egypt a "Political Rights" score of 7/40 and a "Civil Liberties" score of 14/60, with a total score of 21/100.[4] The same year, Reporters Without Borders ranked Egypt at 166th place in its annual Press Freedom Index.[5]
See List of indices of freedom for more information on these ratings and how they are determined.
The US Department of State "2019 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices" listed the following problems in Egypt:
Significant human rights issues included: unlawful or arbitrary killings, including extrajudicial killings by the government or its agents and terrorist groups; forced disappearance; torture; arbitrary detention; harsh and life-threatening prison conditions; political prisoners; arbitrary or unlawful interference with privacy; the worst forms of restrictions on free expression, the press, and the internet, including arrests or prosecutions against journalists, censorship, site blocking, and the existence of unenforced criminal libel; substantial interference with the rights of peaceful assembly and freedom of association, such as overly restrictive laws governing civil society organizations; restrictions on political participation; violence involving religious minorities; violence targeting lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and intersex (LGBTI) persons; use of the law to arbitrarily arrest and prosecute LGBTI persons; and forced or compulsory child labor.[6]?
Just a bit on Jordan, in case Charles has a lapse of memory while there!

Oh yes, I believe around 25 media are out there.
The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall have arrived in Amman in Jordan. It's the first major overseas royal tour since the start of the Covid pandemic. They'll spend two days in Jordan before flying to Egypt.

Good to see CP Hussein involved in these visits with incoming foreign guests. He did have a low key event with William during the latter's 2018 visit to Israel, Jordan and the Palestinian Territories, but this seems to be taking it to a more senior level. His own father didn't have the same opportunites to prepare for his future role at that age, as he was not the designated heir to the throne at that time.

It?s a pity it wasn't a longer tour so they could see some other ancient sites close up. Charles has probably been given a tour of the Sphinx, Pyramids and Valley of the Kings in the past but I don?t know about Camilla. Perhaps they?ll take a private holiday to Egypt one day.
Tour is an important part of Royal duty and tradition.

Not so big in Canada then? The Trudeau Govt cut short the Charles and Camilla visit to three days, possibly to mute any public protests about the hundreds of bodies of indigenous children that were discovered in children?s Homes/Schools. Also, for the first time in history no Canadian Jubilee Medals are to be issued. Unusual for a monarch who has reigned for seventy years.

@RE_DailyMail
The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall will become the first members of the royal family to ever visit Rwanda later this month.
The couple are to represent the Queen at the biannual Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM).
Royal sources said it had been a long-held wish of the future king and head of the family of nations to visit the African nation. It is one of a minority of nations in the world not visited by the Queen.
Charles and Camilla will also meet survivors and perpetrators of the Rwandan genocide at the prince's request, and have been advised former professional footballer Eric Murangwa. You can read more about his story here👇

Eric played for Kigalis top football team. During the Genocide in Rwanda his fellow players protected him from the killing.

QuotePrince Charles is to represent the Queen in Kigali, the Rwandan capital, at a Commonwealth summit later this month. His office reiterated he remains "politically neutral".
Sky News says
QuotePrince Charles is said to have privately called the UK government's plans to send some illegal migrants to Rwanda "appalling".
The prince, 73, is said to be particularly frustrated because he is due to represent the Queen at the Commonwealth heads of government meeting in the Rwandan capital Kigali this month.
A spokesperson for the prince stopped short of denying reports that he is said to be privately "disappointed" by the strategy. Clarence House insisted he had not tried to influence the government

The Rwanda policy may well be inhumane, appalling and callous. However Charles as POW has a long history of delving into and sometimes opposing British Govt policies, dating right back to the early Blair years and beyond. If he, as King, decides that his conscience won?t allow him to sign a piece of legislation into law, or he appears to enthusiastically back or oppose certain govt initiatives then the fat will really be in the fire. Moving beyond the usual prerogatives of a monarch to ?advise, consult and warn? might lead to a constitutional crisis in some circumstances.

If Charles feels some awkwardness when meeting with Rwandan officials that will be due to his reported private wading into the controversy over the Johnson Govt?s immigration measures with illegal immigrants. It?s not up to Charles to make remarks about whether the policy is humane or not.
He?s not an elected official and should leave such comments to the Opposition or to Johnson backbenchers who object. Charles has always been too fond as POW of speaking out on issues that don?t meet with his personal approval. It doesn?t bode well for him as King.
And of course Rwandans are going to be annoyed with him. He knew when he spoke about the policy privately that he would be going to Rwanda for CHOGM. Did he expect to be greeted by hearts and flowers by Johnson and co and by Rwandan Govt ministers? Obtuse is a good description of Charles!

God, more tours here. BP must be really worried about the larger realms drifting off and becoming republics. It?s not going to make a ha?penth of difference to the future, guys. Your time is almost up!
I do not think the royals are worried. Perhaps the PM is going mad with the resounding majority poll want the monarchy so wants King and PPOWs there.
Australia is very large the PM can split cities for the tours.

I?ve already posted what I believe are the reasons for the result of that polling, conducted btw by one of the less prominent polling companies here. And really, all these so-called charm tours do is at best give a little blip to the monarchy, and at worse leave a lot of Aussie and NZ citizens aghast and grumbling at the expense of them.
Any foreign observers who believe that visits by royalty do anything to change the feeling of citizens there about keeping the monarch as HOS are deluding themselves. Look at the Caribbean!
Perhaps the citizens should have a second talk with their local gov to then transfer the message to the PM.
He lunched Saturday 17th then an audience. The BRF do not invite themselves

These royal tours come and go, leaving little behind except a look at the expenses of them. The fact that Albanese (a republican from way back) got caught up in the moment means nothing. And actually, here in Victoria the Premier Daniel Andrews, is a fervent republican also. He is hardly likely to be jumping for joy so the citizens here wouldn?t be telling him anything he doesn?t know already, lol! And the media here aren?t monarchist in general either.
Please do not make personal comments about other posters. We can disagree without attacking one another. I have removed several comments.

The King set to visit France ?as soon as next month? in his first State Visit ? Royal Central (https://royalcentral.co.uk/uk/wales/the-king-set-to-visit-france-as-soon-as-next-month-in-his-first-state-visit-181542/)
Bit odd in my view that he would want to visit France before any of the realms or other monarchies. Charles has never struck me as being overly Francophile to be honest. He seems to have had more of a love for the Balkans if we are talking Europe. Was it the Govt I wonder who made the final decision in this case.
On another note, after some angst with the Morrison Govt here reneging on a deal to buy French submarines a year ago our new PM visited France with his girlfriend, and Macron and his wife were all over the visitors ?like a rash? as we say in Australia. They really bonded, it was a lovefest! So maybe it?s a habit of Macron?s to be all tactile and affectionate with new people!
its not up to him, is it? It is the Foreign office.

King ?chooses France for first state visit? | News | The Times (https://archive.vn/tu8ER)
QuoteThe King has chosen France for his first state visit, with his arrival planned for March 27 on a trip expected to help restore ties frayed since Brexit, according to French media.
President Macron?s aides said he greatly appreciated Charles?s acceptance of his invitation to come to the country.
?It?s an extremely strong symbol because it will be the first official visit by Charles III,? an adviser to Macron told Le Parisien newspaper. ?The event will be happening when the King is not yet crowned, which shows that France is a priority for him.?The visit would ?show the age-old attachment of his country to ours, beyond Brexit, and to mark family continuity because Elizabeth II was a Francophile and a Francophone?, the official said.
Rishi Sunak is expected to travel to Paris earlier in March for an ice-breaking summit before the royal visit, Le Parisien said.
The British embassy in Paris did not respond to the report but Charles had been expected to choose Paris for a visit because of the historic links between the countries and the importance of restoring relations after a fraught period that culminated in friction between Boris Johnson and Macron.
The UK and France have been at loggerheads over migrant boats crossing the Channel, fishing rights and the Northern Ireland protocol in the post-Brexit agreement with the EU. Macron regards Brexit as a disastrous error by Britain and was reported to have called Johnson a ?clown?. In August, when Liz Truss was foreign secretary and weeks before she became prime minister, she annoyed Paris by saying she did not know whether France was a friend or foe. Sunak has said he wants to mend fences.
This is indeed something to look forward to. I have heard that the Queen Consort is not a fan of travelling, but she knows it comes with the territory. And, she seems to relate well to those she visits. The King, I'm pretty sure, considers them to be valuable and looks to be enjoying them as well. I love the photographs we see when they travel and (I confess) the clothes, the formal and official poses, and the jewelry.
Day 1 Paris, France seems to be 27th March according to Le Parisien.

I?d be a very bad, bad royal if I visited somewhere I hadn?t been for a long time. I?d want to see castles afterwards that I haven?t been to in Germany, maybe a mini tour of Bavaria, lol! My schedule would be destroyed!
A Germany royalist rumor, a private visit get together with Philip, Bernhard and Donatus
If this story is true then IMHO it makes perfect sense. The Baden family will have had the opportunity to mourn privately and can meet with their high profile British family members quietly. While the late DoE's German relatives can move quietly about the UK and other places as private citizens, it's nearly impossible for the British monarch to do so when overseas.
Very much so. It will be easier if the threesome can have a get together wherever King Charles has his 'tour agenda' (Hamburg or Berlin).
(I am told the security level for the foursome: Charles, Camilla, William and Kate is high (Putin and Harry; Putin jets flew really low at match speed HMQEII destroyerr on the way to the Suez Canal - Med sea passing Greece, the latter Taliban threat, whenever the MI baldies are seen with any of the four, there is high alert, baldies aren't always with the senior royals, but when you see them in pictures in high to low cc events...yep. They were with the PPOW's this past Friday)
Security being what it is, there may be very little advance information about where the visit will take place. It's awfully hard to hide the security gathering at the appointed location but makes it harder for the bad guys to plan ahead if kept secret as long as possible. What responsibility they have.

The King and Queen Consort's state visit to France has been postponed because of violent protests in the country -

Why was France forced to postpone the State Visit from King Charles and Queen Camilla? ? Royal Central (https://royalcentral.co.uk/uk/why-was-france-forced-to-postpone-the-state-visit-from-king-charles-and-queen-camilla-187705/)
Quote
The French Presidential Palace has just announced that the State Visit from King Charles III and Queen Camilla has been postponed indefinitely, following the call for yet another day of strikes and demonstrations for March 28th 2023, which would have been the second day of the State Visit.
For the past two weeks, France has been experiencing increasingly violent protests from people opposing a pension reform that would raise the minimum retirement age from 62 to 64. Following last week?s decision by President Macron and Prime Minister Borne to push the reform through directly to the vote, without holding a final parliamentary debate, the movement seems to gave regained steam.
As a result of the ongoing protests and strikes, the streets of Paris have been filling with uncollected rubbish, and roads in and out of the city, including those connecting Charles De Gaulle Airport, have been blockaded. On March 23rd 2023, 457 people were arrested with a reported 441 police officers having been injured.
Just these latest numbers should be enough to explain why the postponement happened: it seems that the French law enforcement apparatus will need all the manpower they can gather, and would not be able to guarantee adequate security for another Head of State.
There is also the added complication of the UK?s Head of State being a Monarch, something that was already the object of some protests when the State Visit was first announced, with the subsequent threat levels of any public appearance being heightened slightly.
And finally, the health risk tied to mountains of uncollected rubbish is not to be underestimated, especially now that protesters have been burning the piles on paths during riots, releasing clouds of toxic fumes in the air.
The Elys?e Palace said that the decision to postpone the visit has been taken jointly by the French and British Governments, as well as during a phone call between President Macron and King Charles III, and that new dates will be announced as soon as possible.
This sentiment was echoed in the press release issued by Buckingham Palace, saying in part that ?Their Majesties greatly look forward to the opportunity to visit France as soon as dates can be found?.
However, with protesters giving no indication of any intention to back down any time soon, and with no end in sight to the strikes of public transport and other essential services, it seems like the State Visit will not happen for quite a long time.

He will do what the govt requires him to do, as King unless he is beginning to find long haul tours tiring and will do less of them.
^ I believe so, his priority is commonwealth nations (the realms are secondary, it's up to them if they want to turn republic, he's fine with it). That is what I understood from the article.

What a really interesting visit that must have been. To see the restoration work in front of your own eyes explained as this magnificent ancient building is being brought back to something of its past glory. Wonderful!
Yes
@Curryong I would have loved to have been a part of that group as they met with those responsible for the restoration work. It doesn't appear that the group toured inside Notre Dame. Perhaps the work is at a point where it would be unsafe for anyone to enter?

So they didn?t at any point enter any part of Notre Dame to see any restoration? I must have misunderstood. I didn?t think the four of them had a whole tour but I believed they saw some of the work going on from a distance. Well, that?s a shame. However, there might well be another opportunity in years to come, although of course it is a very very longterm endeavour. I still think some workman was careless with an electric tool.
@Curryong-I may be mistaken but from the video that I watched, it appeared that was not open to the public yet. The group was outside in the plaza in front of the cathedral where the stone masons were working.

Charles's bromance with President Macron will delight ministers and courtiers and the calls of ''Vive le Roi!'' from crowds in Paris and Bordeaux will have been music to Charles's ears.
The King travelled to France on the advice of the government, but the itinerary of 22 engagements was filled with issues that top his own agenda - climate, community and culture. Next up, his ''fourth C'', the Commonwealth, with another state visit to Kenya understood to be on the cards in a matter of weeks. After a successful state visit to Germany earlier this year too, Charles, 74, continues to be a beacon of soft power on the global stage.

Well, he?ll be waiting for a heartfelt invite for a while. The PM and 99% of his Cabinet are republicans. The Govt has got this referendum on The Voice coming up, the vote is on the 14th, next Saturday, and it looks like it?s going down. There will be that aftermath of that and then Xmas looming. Albanese might send off an invite for Charles before Xmas as a goodwill gesture of sorts. The Aussie tax payers will pay for the majority of the visit of course.
TM will undertake a State Visit to Kenya at the end of October. This is their first State Visit to a Commonwealth nation.

QuoteThe visit will take place from Tuesday 31st October to Friday 3rd November 2023, and will celebrate the warm relationship between the two countries and the strong and dynamic partnership they continue to forge.
The visit is at the invitation of President Ruto and comes as Kenya prepares to celebrate 60 years of independence. His Majesty?s first visit to a Commonwealth nation as King is therefore to the country in which Queen Elizabeth II?s reign began, having acceded to the throne in Kenya in February 1952.
The King and Queen will visit Nairobi City County, Mombasa County and surrounding areas. Their Majesties? programme will reflect the ways in which Kenya and the United Kingdom are working together, notably to boost mutual prosperity, tackle climate change, promote youth opportunity and employment, advance sustainable development and create a more stable and secure region.
During the visit, Their Majesties will meet President Ruto and the First Lady as well as and other members of the Kenyan Government, UN staff, CEOs, faith leaders, young people, future leaders and Kenyan Marines training with UK Royal Marines. The King will also attend an event to celebrate the life and work of the Nobel Laureate the late Professor Wangari Maathai, together with Wangari?s daughter, Wanjira Mathai.

My ancestors way back when in Ireland and Scotland did some of the most horrific evil things that I would never do and I don't want to say they are my ancestors yet they are, so there is NO way in hell I will ever say sorry for that some dead ancestors of mine did, that is on them, NOT ME. The world needs to stop saying sorry, paying money for the past mistakes of dead people period. I am responsible only for me, not someone else in my family dead or alive.....I was not born to please the world or to kiss the butt of those that want a fat bank account or a plack saying I am sorry. I am not sorry for what happened in the past as I did not do those terrible things...yet I can learn from the dead on how to be a decent kind human being today by not treating people with indifference just because they are different then me........BIG difference then saying sorry or paying money to someone today who just wants a fat bank account.
I hope Charles knows he is not responsible for the past mistakes of his ancestors, maybe he needs someone to point that out to him. Sometimes saying sorry or forgiving someone is just pointless as all must humans want is MONEY as that is the first thing they ask about.

No, there isn?t rioting in the streets for a revolutionary republic. And, like Aus the constitutional barriers to changing anything are huge for Canada (though Quebec would go in a heartbeat.) That doesn?t mean however that there isn?t mass indifference to the idea of monarchy in Canada, sometimes marked by a mild hostility. Poll after poll for years has shown it.
One of the main arguments against Canada being a republic rather than a monarchy is that being a realm marks it out from its huge neighbour, the US. We don?t have that.
However, even that argument has faded in the past couple of decades. There was some loyalty to the late Queen, but Charles doesn?t have that broad sweep of support. And the monarchy slides into indifference and irrelevance in these realms with every decade until finally it will be gone.
