The Royal Tour of the Caribbean is a 1966 documentary film, produced by the Colonial Office to record the royal visit of Elizabeth II to her independent realms and the Crown Colonies of the Caribbean.[1]

The film recorded pre-independence footage from several of stops of the tour. The tour included visits to

Haile Selassie I to Jamaica.[1]

The Colonial Office's documentaries typically covered population and health issues, and the film stands as an exception to this rule.[1]
