HAVANA (Reuters) - Prince Charles on Monday unveiled a statue of English playwright William Shakespeare in the heart of Havana's restored colonial centre, as part of the first official visit ever by a British royal to communist-run Cuba.

The Prince of Wales, who is a keen conservationist, and his wife Camilla were guided on their city tour by Eusebio Leal, an historian widely recognised for overseeing a facelift of the Cuban capital's historic centre.
