Clarence House has announced that the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall will be heading off on a royal tour this spring between Tuesday 17 March and Wednesday 25 March. Prince Charles, 71, and Camilla, 72, will jointly visit the Republic of Cyprus and Jordan in March. Prior to this, the Prince will also visit Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Charles and Camilla will be reunited with King Abdullah and Queen Rania of Jordan, as they learn what the country is doing to support refugees. The Duchess will see the work undertaken by Queen Rania to protect vulnerable children and mothers, as well as educate parents about child protection and safeguarding. Charles last visited Jordan in February 2015, while Camilla's last trip was in 2013.

The trip will also mark the couple's first official visit to Cyprus, where they will recognise the work of the UN Peacekeeping Force and celebrate traditional Cypriot culture. It will be the first royal visit to the country since the Queen's tour in 1993. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge went to RAF Akrotiri in December 2018, but the military base is in the Western Sovereign Base area - a British Overseas Territory.
During his solo visit to Bosnia and Herzegovina, the Prince of Wales will pay his respects in the 25th anniversary year of the Srebrenica genocide.
