The royal couple will make the trip primarily to attend the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM), which will be held in Antigua and Barbuda from Nov. 1 to 4, Reuters reported.
Charles, who is the monarch of Antigua and Barbuda, also serves as head of the Commonwealth, an association of more than 50 countries whose roots date back to the former British Empire.

The royal visit will begin before the Commonwealth summit, with Charles and Camilla travelling to the Bahamas, where Charles is also the head of state.
The couple will then travel to Guyana for a state visit, according to Buckingham Palace.
The Caribbean tour will bring the British monarch back to a region where questions over the legacy of the British Empire and the role of the monarchy remain subjects of public debate.
The CHOGM meeting will bring together leaders from Commonwealth member states to discuss issues affecting the organization and its members.
The upcoming trip will be one of Charles and Camilla’s major international engagements this year as the King continues to represent the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth overseas.
