Britain’s Prince Charles, the Prince of Wales, center, and his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, take a guided tour of the historical area of Havana, Cuba, Monday, March 25, 2019. (Ramon Espinosa/Associated Press)HAVANA — Prince Charles and his wife Camilla began their first full day in Cuba Monday with a visit to Old Havana, touring churches, shops and cafes in the narrow cobblestoned streets of the historic center before other events around the capital city. The United Kingdom backs Trump in Venezuela but is eager to expand relations with the island nation, and arranged for Prince Charles to extend his Caribbean tour to Cuba to shore up relations between the two nations. “It’s the first time in real life that we receive a real prince at the Cafe Bohemia, although at the Cafe Bohemia all customers are princes,” manager Annalisa Gallina said. After greeting the dancers, the royal couple watched a performance blending classical, modern and traditional Cuban dance.
