CANNIBAL ISLE FOR PRINCE CHARLES



CHARLES and Camilla are to brave 1,000 cannibals on their Diamond Jubilee tour next month.


They will visit the remote South Pacific island of Papua New Guinea where cannibals make soup from genitals and eat human brains raw.

Some travellers fear to even set foot on the island because they are so scared.

A Foreign and Commonwealth Office spokesman in London warned: “If you go to remote parts of the country you have to be secure and safe and aware of surroundings.”

In a recent incident, 29 people including a 13-year-old boy were ­arrested and accused of killing and ­eating five men and two women.

The leader of the gang remains at large.

A local political activist said: “They killed the first victim on the roadside. They cut out his heart and his brains, they drank his blood.”

The series of attacks even disrupted elections in July.

There are believed to be up to 1,000 cannibal cult members in Papua New Guinea.

“They don’t think they’ve done anything wrong,” said Police Commander Anthony Wagambie.

“It’s the prevalent cult activity.”

Cannibalism is part of the island’s traditional culture. Human flesh is described as “long pig.” Practitioners believe that if they eat their victims they will become bulletproof and have supernatural powers.

London Mayor Boris Johnson described the people of PNG as prone to “cannibalism and chief killing”.

After dodging cannibals, Charles and Camilla will also have to fend off killer crocodiles that live in the sea and ­freshwater lakes.

The area is riddled with the beasts, which can grow up to 22ft long.

Swimming is only advised at high ­levels and in hotel pools.

Papua New Guinea has the highest and healthiest population of saltwater crocodiles in the world, along with Australia.

The Lonely Planet travel guide says: “We’ve heard from travellers who’ve had bad experiences.

“If you believed the hype you’d never go.”

A Clarence House spokeswoman said: “We don’t comment on security.

“Their Royal Highnesses are looking forward to the Diamond Jubilee tour in Papua New Guinea.”
