Royals typically travel around the world to further relations with other countries, support important causes and meet with other royal families and world leaders.

Over the years, members of the Royal Family have visited Greece, along with a number of European royals.

Prince Charles and Duchess Camilla are set to visit Athens from March 24 to March 25 to mark the Bicentenary Independence Day celebrations.

The couple previously undertook a royal tour of Greece in 2018.

Many other royals from Queen Letizia to Queen Margrethe have visited the nation, including for a big royal wedding.
