Prince and Princess Michael of Kent headed to Sri Lanka just a week after Princess Anne’s royal tour.
The pair were decorated upon arrival in the country with colourful bouquets.
It is not clear whether Prince Michael travelled to Sri Lanka for a holiday or whether he was on business.
He has visited Sri Lanka before, in 2008, at which time he opened a villa.

The princess was praised by royal commentators for carrying her own luggage and wearing old items of clothing, championing sustainability.
During her time in the South Asian nation, the princess, along with her husband, Vice Admiral Sir Timothy Laurence, visited Colombo, Kandy and Jaffna.
She also met with President Ranil Wickremesinghe, after former President Gotabaya Rajapaksa fled the country in 2022 during mass protests.
The Prince and Princess of Kent are not part of the working Royal Family, though they still appear at occasional events.

For instance, they were in attendance at King Charles’s Christmas lunch last year.
The royal couple tied the knot in 1978 and share two children, Lord Frederick Windsor and Lady Gabriella Kingston.
Frederick, 44, married Sophie Winkleman, the half-sister of Claudia Winkleman, in 2009 and the couple shares two children.
Meanwhile, Lady Gabriella, 42, married socialite Thomas Kingston 10 years later in 2019.
