The King and Queen’s announcement of their latest overseas tour this afternoon was “deliberately timed” to coincide with Harry and Meghan’s homecoming, a royal expert has claimed.<\/p>\n

King Charles and Queen Camilla will embark on an Autumn Tour spanning October 27 to November 4, visiting the Bahamas, Antigua and Barbuda, and Guyana, Buckingham Palace confirmed today.<\/p>\n

The tour will mark 60 years of bilateral relations between the UK and Guyana.<\/p>\n

It will also celebrate communities, cultures and nature within the Commonwealth, and coincide with the 2026 Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Antigua and Barbuda.<\/p>\n

However, today’s announcement came merely hours after Harry and Meghan touched down on British soil.<\/p>\n

Royal commentator Richard Fitzwilliams claims revealing the monarch’s upcoming tour \u2013 his first since visiting Donald Trump in the US \u2013 today was a “deliberate” act from Buckingham Palace.<\/p>\n

He told GB News: “The news of the King and Queen\u2019s tour was obviously, in my view, deliberately announced to coincide with their arrival.<\/p>\n

Mr Fitzwilliams added: “As it should have been!”<\/p>\n

“The monarchy\u2019s link with the Commonwealth is uniquely precious,” he continued.<\/p>\n

“Harry and Meghan were once to be pivotal links with the Commonwealth.”<\/p>\n

However, according to Mr Fitzwilliams, the Sussexes “trashed the institution” in a “shameful” manner.<\/p>\n

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex were today joined by their children, who are believed to have been enrolled in a school in the Cotswolds<\/a>, for the 9hr 55mins flight from California.<\/p>\n

Leaving Van Nuys Airport in California at 6.01pm PDT (2.01am BST), the Sussexes landed in Birmingham at 11.56am today.<\/p>\n

It emerged last week that the Sussexes intended to relocate to the UK this month for an “extended period of time”.<\/p>\n

While that can be interpreted in many different ways, it is said that Harry “will be here for the next 12 to 15 years minimum,”<\/a> according to the Daily Mail.<\/p>\n

However, while Harry and the children are anticipated to set up a more permanent residence in the UK, Meghan may take on a more “international role”.<\/p>\n

The duchess is expected to “come and go” from California, where she has her As Ever brand, and the couple’s Archewell Productions offices are.<\/p>\n

Mr Fitzwilliams noted the couple appears to be “relocating separately”.<\/p>\n

“They will be a thorn in the side of the Royal Family,” he said.<\/p>\n

“How it pans out will be anthropologically fascinating.”<\/p>\n
