The United Kingdom’s Prince Harry will be visiting the Caribbean this fall, Kensington Palace announced Monday.

Prince Harry will be making the official visit in the late autumn on behalf of The Queen, officials said.

The Prince’s visit will include stops in Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Grenada, Guyana, St Kitts and Nevis, St Lucia and St Vincent and the Grenadines.

The visit comes after Prince Harry last visited the Caribbean in 2012 with a trip to Jamaica that included a friendly “race” against Usain Bolt.

The trip is planned to coincide with the 50th anniversary of Barbados and Guyana’s independence, along with the 35th anniversary of Antigua and Barbuda’s independence.

While the Prince last visited Barbados in 2010 on an official trip, this will be his first official visit to all of the other Caribbean countries.
