Prince Charles and Camilla have arrived in Port Moresby, kicking off their 13-day of Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea.
The Duke and Duchess of Cornwall landed at Jackson’s International Airport in Post Moresby this evening.
They were met by Papua New Guinea’s Prime Minister Peter O’Neill, other senior dignitaries and a crowd of locals, who performed traditional songs and dances for the royal couple.
The Papua New Guinea Defence Force gave Charles and Camilla a Guard of Honour, before firing a 21-gun salute to welcome them to the country.
Charles and Camilla will spend three days visiting small villages before departing for Australia on Monday.
It is Charles’ fourth visit to Papua New Guinea. He first travelled there in 1966 while he was studying at Geelong Grammar School. He returned in 1975 and 1984. This is the first time Camilla has toured the nation.
This tour is part of the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
