Prince Charles cancels Cyprus’ visit

Prince Charles’ visit to Cyprus has been cancelled because of the coronavirus, Clarence House said.

The visit was scheduled between March 18 and 21.

It would have been the first royal visit to Cyprus since Queen Elizabeth’s in 1993.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, the British government has asked the prince to cancel his spring tour to Bosnia, Cyprus, and Jordan, a statement said.

The Cyprus Mail is the only English-language daily newspaper published in Cyprus. It was established in 1945 and today, with its popular and widely-read website, the Cyprus Mail is among the most trusted news sites in Cyprus. The newspaper is not affiliated with any political parties and has always striven to maintain its independence. Over the past 70-plus years, the Cyprus Mail, with a small dedicated team, has covered momentous events in Cyprus’ modern history, chronicling the last gasps of British colonial rule, Cyprus’ truncated independence, the coup and Turkish invasion, and the decades of negotiations to stitch the divided island back together, plus a myriad of scandals, murders, and human interests stories that capture the island and its -people. Observers describe it as politically conservative.
