Duchess Catherine will embark on her first solo tour abroad in September.
The Duchess, 32, will represent the Queen in Malta on September 20 and 21 as the Mediterranean island celebrates 50 years of independence.
The announcement, made by Kensington Palace, stated neither Prince William nor Prince George will join Catherine on the two day trip.
The news was announced on the British Monarchy Twitter account with further details from Kensington Palace to be released at a later date.
“The Duchess of Cambridge will visit Malta on 20th and 21st September 2014 on behalf of The Queen,” the tweet said.
“The Duchess of Cambridge’s visit will mark the 50th anniversary of Malta’s independence.
“The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh lived in Malta when they were just married, while The Duke was on naval service.”
Earlier this year the Duke and Duchess embarked on a tour of Australia and New Zealand with their one-year-old son Prince George.
