If you’re a British royal jaunting around on an official tour, there are worse places in the world to be than a tropical Caribbean island.
That’s what Prince Charles and wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, can confirm as they continue their tour of the Caribbean this week, currently on the fourth day of a 12-day visit that includes stops in such tropical islands as St. Lucia, St. Kitts, Grenada, and the Cayman Islands.
On Wednesday, the couple arrived in Kingstown, the capital of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, where they spent the day taking in events having to do with environmental preservation and female empowerment, reports People.

Upon arrival, the Duchess of Cornwall was presented with a local favourite: a shot glass full of passionfruit rum, which she dutifully downed.
As People points out, the day wasn’t all rum and sun; the pair also joined a domestic violence roundtable and met with female entrepreneurs at a local community college.
Prior to visiting Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, the couple on Tuesday touched down in Barbados, where they attended a star-studded celebration in which Charles officially named Lionel Richie as an ambassador for his charity, the Prince’s Trust International.
Charles had the “American Idol” judge in stitches when he dashed off a royals joke featuring one of Richie’s biggest hits, telling the singer, “It must have been you I was looking for,” reports Yahoo! Finance.
“Oh, did you just say that?” Richie replied. “He did say that.”
Charles wasn’t the only one chatting up celebrities, with Camilla later photographed alongside Richie and Sir Tom Jones.
The couple’s next stop will be St. Kitts and Nevis on Thursday. Meanwhile, check out these highlights from the couple’s tour of Barbados:
