Where Did the Royal Family Go in 2016?
All the Countries William, Kate, and Harry Visited in 2016
In 2016, the workloads of Prince William, Kate Middleton, and Prince Harry increased significantly — and so too did the amount of overseas travel they have undertaken as part of their official duties. Between them (and not forgetting cameo appearances from Prince George and Princess Charlotte), they have racked up visits to 20 different countries on four continents — and it's a figure which is only set to increase over the coming years. After releasing baby turtles on Lover's Beach and spray-painting sedated elephants in Malawi, a precarious rail-track shimmy in Canada and archery in Bhutan, the start of a new love affair, hard labor, and a much-anticipated first solo overseas trip, we can't wait to see where they all visit next and what they do when they're there.
Kenya
Nepal
In April, Harry headed to Nepal for five days, where he visited schools, national parks, and a Ghurka camp. He prolonged his stay by a week so he could help rebuild a school that had been damaged in the 2015 earthquake.
India
That same month, the Cambridges headed off on a whistle-stop five-day tour which included visiting the slums of Mumbai and the street children of Delhi, Kaziranga Wildlife Sanctuary, and the Taj Mahal.
Bhutan
During their two days here, they met with King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and Queen Jetsun Pema of Bhutan, tried a spot of archery, and hiked in the Himalayas.
Canada
All four Cambridges headed to Canada for a week-long tour in September. The family attended a tea party together, while William and Kate visited the rain forest, traveled to remote islands, and met with mothers battling addiction in Downtown Eastside Vancouver.
United States
The prince then immediately headed to Orlando, FL, for the 2016 Invictus Games, where he met with the athletes, attended events, and awarded medals.
France
In July, the royal trio spent two days in France for the centenary of the Battle of the Somme. On day one, they attended a vigil at the Thiepval Memorial, and the following day, they were joined by Prince Charles and Camilla for the memorial service.
Lesotho
South Africa
Malawi
Germany
Netherlands
In October, the duchess undertook her first solo overseas engagement. She met with King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima, visited charity projects, and toured an art exhibition.
Vietnam
Antigua and Barbuda
On behalf of the queen, Harry undertook a two-week tour of the Caribbean, and first up was Antigua and Barbuda, which were marking 35 years of independence. Harry celebrated the success of young people, visited schools, and toured a bird sanctuary. However, he got the most attention when Prime Minister Gaston Browne suggested the prince and new girlfriend Meghan Markle should return for their honeymoon . . .
St. Kitts and Nevis
St. Lucia
It was Harry's first time on the island and he visited conservation projects and dropped in on a street festival.
St. Vincent and the Grenadines
Grenada
Barbados
The prince's visit coincided with the country's 50th anniversary of independence, and he visited a children's home, a kids hospital, and a charity concert with a performance by Rihanna. The next day was National AIDS Day, and he and the singer got tested for HIV in order to help try to break down the stigma of getting tested.
