Prince Charles and his wife Camilla are planning to visit Canada next year, as part of celebrations to mark 60 years of the Queen's rule.

The visits were announced by the Buckingham Palace Wednesday but no dates were revealed.

"Further details of the regional and overseas visits will be announced in due course," the Palace said.

"In addition, members of the Royal Family will travel overseas representing The Queen throughout the Diamond Jubilee year, visiting every Realm as well as undertaking visits to Commonwealth countries, Crown Dependencies and British Overseas Territories."

Prince Harry will tour Belize, Jamaica and the Bahamas, while Prince William and his wife Catherine, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will visit Malaysia, Singapore, Solomon Islands, and Tuvalu.

Prince Andrew will visit India, Prince Edward and his wife Sophie will visit the Caribbean, Princess Anne will visit Mozambique and Zambia.
