King Charles and Queen Camilla Unveil New Portraits From Caribbean Tour
King Charles and Queen Camilla have released two new official portraits to mark the end of their Caribbean tour, Hello! Magazine reported. The photographs were taken on 1 November in Antigua and Barbuda, the final stop on the trip.
The pictures were taken by Chris Jackson, a royal photographer for Getty Images, the photo agency. The tour was a week-long autumn trip, and the couple were in St. John's, the capital of Antigua, in the days before the shoot.
The King's outfit included a pocket square, the folded cloth worn in a jacket top pocket. His was made from madras, a lightweight checked cotton that is traditional in Antigua and Barbuda and is worn for the country's Independence Day. He also wore a tie that was a gift from the widow of the comedian Barry Humphries, taken from Humphries' collection.
The Queen wore a turquoise chiffon dress, a light, sheer fabric, by the designer Anna Valentine. Her jewellery was a mix of old and new. She wore turquoise and diamond earrings from the late Queen's private collection, along with a multicoloured beaded bracelet made by a local vendor in Antigua and Barbuda.
Both of them wore poppies in the portraits. The poppy is the red flower worn in the weeks before Remembrance Day, the UK day of remembrance for the war dead, which falls on 11 November.
The portraits came with a short written message from the royal household: "A shared journey is measured not by the miles travelled but the moments that stay with us. Thank you to all who supported and followed Their Majesties' Caribbean tour."
The tour was first reported by Reuters on 26 August 2026, when the news agency said the couple would visit several Caribbean nations later in the year. Getty Images has published a set of its own photographs from the Antigua and Barbuda visit, credited to Chris Jackson, showing the couple speaking with local sellers and visiting a family-run pottery workshop.
For anyone who follows royal style, the picture set is a useful record of how the couple dressed for a trip that mixed formal events with visits to local craftspeople. The King's madras pocket square and the Queen's beaded bracelet both point to the Antiguan setting, while the poppies tie the set to the British calendar.
