How often do Royal visits to the Isle of Man happen?published at 15:09 BST
Queen Elizabeth II made five visits to the island during her 70-year reign.
Her first, accompanied by the Duke of Edinburgh, was in 1955 when the Royal couple sailed into Douglas Bay on board the Royal Yacht Britannia.
She then visited in 1972, in 1979 for the Millenium of Tynwald celebrations, in 1989 and finally in 2003.
Queen Camilla was on the island in 2024 to officially confer city status on the Isle of Man’s capital, Douglas.
King Charles last visited the island in 2012, while he was Prince of Wales, as part of the Royal family’s tour to mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee.
That followed two previous visits, including one in 2000 when he presided over the open-air Tynwald ceremony in St John’s.
The Princess Royal has also made several visits to the island, most recently presiding over the Tynwald ceremony in 2021 and attending a special service of thanksgiving at the refurbished cathedral in Peel three years later.
