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.
