Royal couple visit UK-linked sites on second day in Cuba

Mar 26, 2019 | 3:36 PM

HAVANA — Prince Charles and his wife Camilla briefly drove a classic British car, visited a statue of John Lennon and cut the ribbon on a British renewable energy project on their second full day visiting Cuba.

They began their public schedule with a short drive in a 1953 MG alongside a park that hosts a statue of Lennon that draws thousands of tourists a year. A local rock band played Beatles songs at the Yellow Submarine, a nearby bar and cultural centre.

The couple strolled around the park and talked with local residents and British residents of Havana.
