Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge are gearing up for their next royal tour — but will they bring their two kids, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, with them?
The royal couple confirmed the exciting news through a Kensington Palace spokesperson back in March.
“The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will make an official visit to Poland and Germany this July at the request of The Foreign and Commonwealth Office,” the statement said at the time.
And this week, further details have been revealed about this upcoming trip.
On Tuesday, June 13, Kensington Palace shared the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will travel to Warsaw, Poland, on Monday, July 17. During their trip to Poland, they will also visit the city of Gdansk.
After Poland, Kate, 35, and William, 34, will travel to Germany, There the duo will go on a tour of Berlin, Heidelberg, and Hamburg.
They will finish up their trip and return back to London on Friday, July 21, just in time for little George’s fourth birthday.
Both the initial and recent announcements of the tour have not addressed whether Kate and William will be joined by their two young children, George, three, and Charlotte, two.
The siblings traveled with their parents as they embarked on a royal tour of Canada last September but have been known to let Carole and Michael Middleton babysit them for shorter travel stints.
Kensington Palace are yet to confirm if George and Charlotte will join their parents for the tour.
The royal siblings stole the show during their parents’ tour of Canada last year!
This will mark Kate’s first trip to Germany and the couple’s first time in Poland on behalf of Queen Elizabeth.
It’s believed the parents-of-two will meet with German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, during their visit.
It’s also expected William and Kate will catch up with Polish Prime Minister, Beata Szydlo, and pay their respects at the concentration camp Auschwitz. Political commentators claim the royal tour will help solidify England’s ties with Europe in a post-Brexit climate.
For shorter stints overseas, Kate’s parents look after the kids.
The Cambridges recently went to Paris for a two-day tour in March. The trip to France marked the first official royal visit by the couple to the country since the untimely death of William’s mother, Princess Diana.
Will was just 15 years old and his brother, Prince Harry only 12 years old when Diana was tragically killed in a car crash in Paris in August 1997. She was 36 years old.
While the tour was the Duke and Duchess’s first official visit to Paris, William had previously traveled to Paris on a handful of unofficial trips.
