The royal couple sat alongside Prime Minister Gaston Browne at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium, where they were greeted by Governor-General Rodney Williams ahead of a ceremony recognising citizens for their contributions to national development.

The visit coincides with Antigua and Barbuda hosting the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) from November 1 to 4, bringing leaders together to discuss investment, development and international cooperation.

The Caribbean nation gained independence from Britain on November 1, 1981.
