Prince William will visit Australia before his wedding with Kate Middleton in April, exclusively revealed by Channel Nine’s Mornings with Kerri-Anne show.
The prince will fly out in eight days to visit flood devastated areas in Queensland and Victoria as well as earthquake ravaged Christchurch and Greymouth, the scene of the Pike Mine disaster in New Zealand.
The Palace said Ms Middleton would not join Prince William for the trip, from March 17 to 21, because it was an official royal visit.

Prince William visited Australia and New Zealand as part of his first tour as an adult in January last year.
While his visit to New Zealand was an official tour, the Prince said he requested the less formal trip to Australia so he could get to know the country better.
Prince William first came to Australia as a nine-month-old baby in 1983 with his mother Princess Diana and father Prince Charles.
The 28-year-old is due to marry his long-term girlfriend Kate Middleton, 29, on April 29 at Westminster Abbey in London.
The couple began dating in 2003 after they met while studying at the University of St Andrews.
Julia Gillard, her partner, and Australia’s Governor General Quentin Bryce are among 1,900 guests invited to the wedding.
