Britain’s Prince William and Kate Middleton will embark on their maiden visit to India on April 10, including a stop at Agra’s famed Taj Mahal, where William’s mother, the late Princess Diana, posed for one of her most memorable photographs. The royal couple will also visit Bhutan and the Kaziranga national park in Assam.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will land in Mumbai on April 10, spend April 11 and 12 in New Delhi and then head for Kaziranga, before visiting Thimphu, Bhutan’s capital, on April 14. On Aptil 16, they will visit the Taj Mahal, where Princess Diana had posed for one of her most iconic photographs in 1992.

A Kensington Palace spokesperson said William, 33, second in line to the British throne, and his 34-year-old wife will leave their children, Pri-nce George and Princess Charlotte, behind in Britain during their six-day tour.

It will be the first time they visit either India or Bhutan and the royal tour is being highlighted as a “tribute” to Queen Elizabeth II’s contribution to the Commonwealth just ahead of her 90th birthday on April 21. The trip was announced during Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the UK last November.
