Prince Charles and Camilla recently took a 12-day tour of the Caribbean, hitting five Commonweath countries and becoming the first royals to make an official visit to Cuba – but this trip, filled with mojito masterclasses and statue photo-ops, was unlike any other royal visit.

The pair, who are 70 and 71 respectively, proved they’re still young at heart as they sipped and even boxed their way through the trip, which involved a celebration with Lionel Richie and plenty of rum.
