It was a frazzled mess by the time he delivered a speech to dignitaries at the Philip Marcellin Grounds.

He said: “Climate change poses nothing short of an existential threat to this island as it does to every part of this region.”

The Prince of Wales was speaking ahead of a reception to mark the island’s 40th anniversary of independence.

He will next fly to Barbados to be reunited with the Duchess of Cornwall, who flew out before the tour began.
