Prince William and Kate Middleton had kept some details of their important visit secret as a precaution.
The Prince and Princess of Wales were due to arrive in Scotland on Tuesday January 20 to lead a series of engagements in Stirling and Falkirk to highlight the unique traditions of Scottish heritage. However, royal editor Rebecca English said an engagement for the day was not revealed due to security reasons.
Kensington Palace released an update on the couple’s trip as they left the UK for their destination.
William and Kate, known as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay and Lord and Lady of the Isles when in Scotland, will first visit the National Curling Academy in Stirling to meet Great Britain’s Olympic and Paralympic curling teams.
The meeting is being held ahead of the next Olympic Winter Games and Paralympic Winter Games which will be held in Milan-Cortina between February and March.
They will then visit Radical Weavers in Stirling, a handloom weaving workshop which also operates as a charity.
William and Kate will learn about the heritage of Scottish tartan and benefit from the therapeutic qualities of weaving while creating blankets and textiles to give back to those in need.
Meanwhile, Harry is still in the UK as he continues legal proceedings against publisher DailyMail. On the other hand, King Charles and Camilla are at Balmoral. It is unclear whether the monarch will meet William and Kate during their stay in Scotland.
