It's good news! Sorry for the silly question, but is it usual to send a royal couple to a tour in countries that has already been visited just one year earlier by another couple of the royal family?

It's happened several times before, so it is quite usual.

Let us not forget, Charles is the heir to the throne, and in line to become the next King of both Aus & NZ. It is only natural that his wife and he visit regularly, irrespective of trips other members of the family may have made.

Thank you to both of you... Obviously it was a silly question from my part:flowers:
 
Great news. I met them during their last visit in 2012. The Duchess of Cornwall was absolutely delightful. I hope I can get to see her again.

Not a silly question at all. I too can't fathom why they are coming...again!

We do have a royal lover in our Prime Minister Tony Abbot though. I imagine he is the reason we are spending so much money on the English royals. :flowers:

November is a good month to visit. Sun, not too hot, not cold. Perhaps Mr Abbot wants to advertise Australia to the English as a great country to migrate to?:D

Queen Camilla said:
Agree, probably to see off the Elephant Family Rickshaw race and wish them lots of luck.

I didn't think of that. My first thought was she's spending time at that fantabulous health retreat that she loves to go to. She always comes away from that looking radiant.
 
Found Camilla!
The Duchess of Cornwall this afternoon called upon Mrs Mary Tan (Wife of The President of the Republic of Singapore) at the Istana, Singapore. (CC 3/11)

Stopover for Charles so they could meet up, I expect.
 
I'm a bit suprised at the amount of coverage The Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall's tour is gettting on Australian TV.

While no doubt the crowds on the ground will be less than the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge - with the additional drawcard of little Prince George - enjoyed on their tour last year, there seems to have been extensive TV coverage for Charles and Camilla. And they're in New Zealand, not Oz.

We seem to have been told an awful lot about what they're going to get up to across the ditch, so I'm expecting good coverage when they are actually in my country.
 
I wish they were going to Brisbane. I'd love to see them but Sydney's too far.

Breakfast television has been promoting the routes that Charles and Camilla are to take around New Zealand and here in Australia.

(Done very cutely with photo heads of the couple bouncing around in a cartoon plane from the UK, then ping-ponging around maps of the two countries.)

The British royal reporters have started to update us - Charles will not/does not stop for lunch - wants to fit in as much as possible. Camilla will not be missing her lunch thank you.

I only saw the 5.00pm Channel Ten evening news and the 6.00pm Channel Nine evening news royal rob, but coverage from New Zealand was in the first three reports.

Australian reporters have been sent there to cross back to the studios here in Oz with first hand reports. (Much joshing re the version of Spring New Zealand gets vs Spring here, poor reporters.)

I didn't catch the daytime news broadcasts but I think they had live coverage back to us from New Zealand - that's why the Oz reporters went over.

I can only see it ramping up as the Royal Couple actually get to Australia.

(One of the reporters referred to Charles as "the next King of Australia". The republicans must be gnashing their teeth.)

Video: Prince Charles and Camilla begin 12-day tour of New Zealand and Australia - Telegraph
Lashing rain and strong winds greeted the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall when they arrived in New Zealand's capital for a 12-day tour.

Despite it being springtime in the country, the Duchess was left clutching a see-through umbrella and wore a scarf around her head as she braved the wintry weather in Wellington, while the Prince ignored the cold conditions as they walked across the tarmac after landing.

The royal couple's official welcome was hastily rearranged as the predicted let up in the bad weather failed to materialise and they met waiting dignitaries - including prime minister John Key - inside a military terminal at Wellington International airport.
