Prince William and Kate Middleton announce new trip together amid Queen's Covid battle

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have announced their next trip together - and it will take place next week.

The royal couple is set to visit Wales next Tuesday (March 1) to mark St David's Day and will be travelling to both Abergavenny and Blaenavon.

The announcement of the trip comes just a day after it was revealed the Queen has tested positive for Covid-19 but is only experiencing mild symptoms.

Experts have said other royals such as William and Kate are all willing to step in to carry out duties for Her Majesty while she recovers from the virus.

During the trip to Wales, Kensington Palace says William and Kate will learn about the importance of the agricultural industry for rural communities and how they celebrate the history of local regions.

In Abergavenny, they will visit Pant Farm, a goat farm, which has been producing milk to a local cheese producer for nearly 20 years.

Later they will visit Abergavenny Market to visit local producers while in Blaenavon they will stop off at Blaenavon Hwb - a community focused youth centre.

Wales looks set to be an important place for William and Kate in the future - and it could be reflected in their titles one day.

When Prince Charles becomes King, William will become the heir to the throne and will probably take on the title the Prince of Wales.

It is not a given that William will get the title, as it has to be bestowed upon the heir by the monarch.

However, experts predict it is more than likely that Charles will pass on his title to William.

If this happens, Kate would automatically become the Princess of Wales. The last person to hold this title was, of course, William's late mother Princess Diana. Charles's second wife, Camilla, decided against using the title out of respect for Diana.

And according to a source, if and when this is to happen, it would be an emotional moment for William.

They told the Telegraph : "I’m sure it’ll be a bit of a bittersweet moment.

"This is her son and his wife, so in some ways, it will be coming full circle—but it will also be a poignant reminder of what we all lost."
