While events this morning will focus on Guernsey's heritage, culture and environment, Alderney and Sark will take centre stage this afternoon with the King and Queen joining the smaller islands of the Bailiwick at Les Cotils.
With time restricting their visit on this occasion, Their Majesties have been unable to travel to any of the other islands of the Bailiwick.
They were in Jersey yesterday afternoon and overnight, before flying in to Guernsey this morning.
They will leave the Bailiwick late this afternoon to head back to the UK, having spent around five hours in Guernsey in total.
The latter section of the day will be based at Les Cotils where various people from Alderney and Sark will gather to meet King Charles III and Queen Camilla.

While at Les Cotils, Their Majesties will meet island dignitaries from both Alderney and Sark including members of the States and Court of Alderney, and Sark's Chief Pleas, as well as the President of the States of Alderney, William Tate, and the Sark Seigneur Major Christopher Beaumont.
Representatives of island organisations will also be in attendance to reflect the different cultural values of the islands while demonstrating their heritage and environmental commitments.
School children from both islands will be in attendance.
Children from Sark are expected to perform songs in Sercquaise while children from St Anne's School in Alderney will read 'Alderney's Momentous Question', also known as the island's poem, which describes the evacuation in June 1940 and the Homecoming in December 1945.
Sark’s Second World War veterans will attend as part of the island's delegation, along with voluntary members of both Alderney and Sark's emergency services, charities, and other important organisations.

While at Les Cotils, King Charles will bestow a Royal title on the Golden Guernsey Goat breed.
The animals are being renamed the 'Royal Golden Guernsey Goat' in recognition of their cultural and historical significance as well as their proven value to biodiversity, to the environment and to sustainable food production.
His Majesty is Patron of the Rare Breeds Survival Trust, meaning the honour being bestowed on the Golden Guernsey is "wonderful recognition" of their breed, said Christopher Price, the Trust's Chief Executive.
It is the first time in recent history that the protected title has been granted to a livestock breed.
King Charles will confer the title on Summerville Tamsin - an eight year old female Golden Guernsey - by placing an engraved bell around her neck.
“We are delighted that His Majesty is conferring this special title on this iconic native breed," Mr Price said.
Royally approved goats, oysters, seaweed, Guernesiais and much more!
