An official statement from Kensington Palace noted  that Harry will visit Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Grenada, Guyana, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, St. Kitts-Nevis and St. Lucia.

“The visit falls on the 50th anniversary of Independence for Barbados, the 50th anniversary of Independence for Guyana and the 35th anniversary of Independence for Antigua and Barbuda.”

Full details of Prince Harry’s visit will be disclosed at a later date.

“It gives me great pleasure to be able to confirm that Prince Harry will be visiting Guyana later this year. This will be the first visit by a member of the Royal Family since 2004 and comes, of course, in the year of Guyana’s 50th anniversary of Independence. It is therefore a particularly relevant time for such a visit,” said British High Commissioner to Guyana Greg Quinn.
