Their Majesties' Autumn Tour will celebrate communities, cultures and nature within the Commonwealth family.
All systems go for the British royal family
The news comes as Charles' son, Prince Harry, has touched down with his wife, Meghan Markle, and children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet, who have started their new life in the UK.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex touched down at Birmingham Airport on Wednesday afternoon in a private plane ahead of the start of the new school term next week.

Harry and Meghan's decision to move back to the UK came as a shock to royal fans after they moved to the US five years ago following Harry's exit from the royal family in 2020.
The pair have not explained their reasons for making their big UK return, but HELLO! understands that King Charles is looking forward to spending time with Harry and his family, privately.
© InstagramThe King was made aware of Harry's intentions on Sunday 14 August, with Prince William and his wife, the Princess of Wales, also being made aware prior to the rest of the world.
Just 15 months ago, Harry had said: "I can't see a world in which I would be bringing my wife and children back to the UK."
But their move comes after Harry and his family spent time in Northamptonshire over the summer staying with Harry's uncle, Charles Spencer, at Althorp House.
