Prince William couldn’t help but show PDA with his wife, Kate Middleton, during their outing on Commonwealth Day. Although I was hoping for more couple pics on his next tour, the royal family just confirmed that it’s not possible.
Today, the palace announced that Prince William will embark on a solo (I repeat, solo) trip to Estonia. The two-day visit will begin on March 20 and will honor the royal’s role as Colonel-in-Chief of the Mercian Regiment.
While there, Prince William will meet with Alar Karis (aka the President of Estonia), visit a school that was founded by the Ministry of Education and Research of Estonia and learn more about the Mercian Regiment’s role in Operation Cabrit.
This will mark Prince William’s first-ever trip to Estonia. However, he’s not the first British royal to visit the European country. In fact, his uncle Prince Edward just returned from the country last month. (FYI, the Duke of Edinburgh holds a similar role to Prince Willam as the Colonel-in-Chief of the Royal Dragoon Guards.)
At the time, Prince Edward visited the troops and participated in a training exercise. Buckingham Palace released a series of photos of the prince trudging through snow.
The caption read, “The cold weather operator course takes place every year in Estonia and involves soldiers spending two nights in a forest, learning how to build camps, make fires and find food and water.”
Now, it’s Prince William’s time to shine.
