His Royal Highness Charles, Prince of Wales, recently toured Irma and Maria devastation in the Caribbean region over a three day official visit. After surveying damage to Antigua, Barbuda, and the British Virgin Islands Nov 17-18, Prince Charles arrived on Dominica on Sunday, November 19, inspecting Hurricane Maria’s catastrophic impact, meeting island residents, and attending a government cabinet meeting with Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit.
Prior to departure, the Prince stated: “If I may say, I have been so full of admiration for the remarkable courage and resilience of people in Dominica…we are all trying to do our best to support this very important part of the Commonwealth, and I hope everybody has the happiest Christmas as possible. ”
The UK’s International Development Secretary Penny Mordaunt joined the Prince on his Caribbean visit, announcing that Britain will give Dominica an additional £12 million for recovery efforts.
“And so it was painful beyond words to see the devastation that was so cruelly wrought across the Caribbean by Hurricanes Irma and Maria in those few, terrible weeks in September.”– HRH Charles, Prince of Wales
