Prince Charles and Camilla Arrive in Mexico for 4-Day Visit

Britain’s Prince Charles and his wife Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, arrived Sunday in this capital for a four-day official visit aimed at tightening the relationship between the United Kingdom and Mexico.

Charles, the heir to the British throne, and Camilla arrived at the Mexico City airport at 1:15 p.m. on the jet bringing them from Colombia, which they had been visiting since last Tuesday.

On Sunday, the royal couple were scheduled to see the picturesque town of Real del Monte, where the basis for the relationship between the two nations is being laid with the presence of British miners in the silver mines there.

On Monday, the Prince of Wales and Camilla will be welcomed by President Enrique Peña Nieto and first lady Angelica Rivera at a reception in the National Palace in Mexico City.

On Tuesday, the royal couple will be in Campeche, in southeastern Mexico, and on Wednesday they will conclude their stay with a tour of the city of Monterrey.

Charles and Camilla arrived in Bogota on Oct. 28, where they were received the next day by President Juan Manuel Santos and participated in assorted activities, including celebrating the 75th anniversary of the British Council in Colombia and making a visit to the Memory, Peace and Reconciliation Center.
