London: Palace officials have offered new
details about Prince Harry's upcoming Diamond Jubilee trip to
the Caribbean and Brazil.
It will mark his first trip as an official representative
of his grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II.
Harry plans to visit Belize, Jamaica and the Bahamas for
festivities marking the queen's 60th year on the throne, then
travail to Rio and Sao Paulo to promote British ties.
Officials said today the trip will include a few games of
beach volleyball on Rio's famous oceanfront and a visit to
Usain Bolt Stadium in Jamaica. They say it is possible he will meet Bolt there depending on the Olympic hero's training schedule.
Harry will also meet with schoolchildren and take part in
military exercises during his trip in early March.
