Hospitality workers from the Caribbean will go to England’s Royal Households to train in a new scholarship scheme.

Prince Harry launched the programme which will see nine promising workers in food and entertainment get the chance develop their skills in Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle.

Training could include learning complex chocolate and sugar craft, performing duties for the Queen’s guests during Royal Ascot week or shadowing the service team at official and private events.

Harry, who is on a 15-day tour of the West Indies, launched the Royal Household Hospitality Scholarship initiative during a reception in Grenada.

He was joined by the governor general Dame Cecile La Grenade and the country’s prime minister Keith Mitchell.

Successful applicants will be attached to the Master of the Household’s department.

They will undertake a six week project to advance their skills and learn new techniques before receiving a certificate of completion from the Royal Household at the end of their placement.

Candidates can apply from the nine Caribbean countries where the Queen is head of state which include Jamaica, Grenada and St Lucia.

Applications should be made to the Governor General’s office in each realm.

Successful candidates will be provided with staff accommodation in the Royal Mews at Buckingham Palace, as well as meals and travel.

Flights will be provided by their home realm.
