Clarence House announced on Wednesday that Prince Charles and wife Camilla will visit Australia, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea in November. The couple's trip, part of Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee celebrations, will be from Nov 3 to 16.

The couple's first stop of their overseas tour is Papua New Guinea which the prince first visited way back in 1966 as a student at the Geelong Grammar School in Australia. They will meet traditional cultural groups, church workers, charity and community volunteers, military personnel and the youth at several locations in and around Port Moresby.

The prince, the heir to the throne, and Camilla will attend jubilee celebrations and the Melbourne Cup in Australia during a six-day visit that will bring them to Queensland, Victoria, South Australia, New South Wales and the Australian Capital Territory.

Their last stop is in New Zealand where the royals will visit Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. The prince will celebrate his 64th birthday in Wellington on Nov 14. Camilla will participate in an event with young readers.

However, news of Charles and Camilla's trip to the land down under could be eclipsed by the publication of the topless photos of Prince Charles' daughter-in-law, Catherine, who with Prince William are ending their tour of Malaysia, Singapore and the Pacific islands also as part of the Queen's Jubilee.
