Charles and Camilla will travel to Antigua and Barbuda, while the King will also head to the Bahamas and Guyana solo.
The King and Queen are to carry out an overseas tour to Antigua and Barbuda in the autumn, with Charles also undertaking a solo trip the Bahamas and a solo state visit to Guyana.
Charles, who is still being treated for cancer, will embark on the nine-day official trip from October 27 until November 4.
He will travel first to the Bahamas, where he is also head of state, without Camilla, and then on to Guyana for a state visit to mark 60 years of bilateral relations between the UK and the South American country.
Charles and Camilla’s trip to Antigua and Barbuda will coincide with the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) 2026 which is being hosted in the Caribbean nation from November 1 to 4.
News of the King and Queen’s overseas duties were announced shortly after the Duke and Duchess of Sussex returned to the UK to set up home.
Harry and Meghan reportedly landed at Birmingham Airport with their children just before midday on Wednesday, but Charles and Camilla are currently on their annual summer break at Balmoral.
Buckingham Palace said the tour would “celebrate communities, cultures and nature within the Commonwealth family”.

The King, as the Prince of Wales, visited Antigua and Barbuda in November 2017, following the widespread devastation caused by Hurricanes Irma and Maria.
It will be Camilla’s first official visit to Antigua and Barbuda.
Charles previously made official visits to Guyana in 2000 and the Bahamas in 1973.
He is making the state visit to Guyana at the invitation of the president and at the request of the UK Government.
