William and Kate to visit Singapore next month

Britain's Prince William will be making a trip to Singapore from September 11-13. He will be accompanied by his wife, Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge. The visit is part of their nine-day tour of the Pacific Islands of Solomon and Tuvalu to mark Queen Elizabeth II's Diamond Jubilee. From Singapore, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will move on to Malaysia where they will visit the capital Kuala Lumpur and Borneo's Sabah state from September 13-15. The pair will then travel to the Solomon Islands, a former British protectorate northeast of Australia, between September 16-18 before a final stop in the tiny nation of Tuvalu from September 18-19. Queen Elizabeth is head of state in the Solomons and Tuvalu, both of which are members of the Commonwealth.
