The royal couple will visit along with their three children on an official tour, which is expected to repair Pakistan’s international image a great deal.
The trip will be the first of its kind undertaken by any member of the British royal family to Pakistan in 13 years.
In 2006, William’s father Charles (the Prince of Wales) and the Duchess of Cornwall, Camilla Parker-Bowles, had travelled to Pakistan to visit the areas devastated by the October 8, 2005 earthquake.
