Prince Charles and his wife Camilla visited Montenegro on March 18. This visit was the second in a row. Charles visited Yugoslavia in October 1978, then he met with President Josip Broz Tito. Then, in 1978, a plane with a British prince landed in Dubrovnik, where he was met by a military guard of the Yugoslav army, and also by a Yugoslav delegation. Then Charles took a leisurely stroll around the city, visited the local market, went through the old part of the city (Old Town Dubrovnik). The next city to visit was Trogir, and then Mount Makljen, where the prince was told that at this place was one of the most important battles of Tito's partisans with the Nazis. In Belgrade, in honor of the arrival of the royal person, a banquet was organized.

In that year, in addition to visiting Igalo (Herceg Novi), the prince strolled along the streets of the Old Town of Kotor, admiring the local color. By the arrival of an important guest from the royal family, the city was adorned with the proper manner. Many residents of the city took to the streets and warmly greeted the prince of Great Britain. Charles was in good spirits and responded to the greetings of citizens.

Arrival of the royal person was covered in local media, who tried to tell as much as possible about this important event. Photographers everywhere accompanied the prince of Great Britain and took numerous pictures.

The arrival of Prince Britannia in Montenegro on March 18 was not political, it was friendly. In Cetinje, royal people were met by the President of Montenegro, Philip Vujanovic. In addition to the official duties that Charles and Camilla performed during the visit, the royal family recognized Montenegro through people, through a variety of contacts. For the Prince was specially prepared olive oil from the olive of an ancient olive tree, whose age is about 2 thousand years.

It is interesting that during the dialogue between Charles and the icon painters in Cetinje, his wife stepped toward the building of the Musical Academy and raised a doll that fell out of the hands of the girl. By the way, Roman Simovitch, who now performs with the London Symphony Orchestra, as the first violin, went to this Music Academy.
