Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, will spend Easter in Kenya, and will find time to attend the wedding of his former girlfriend Jessica Craig.
Kensington Palace announced that the Duke would be making a “private” four-day visit to Africa, saying he would be spending time on the wildlife reserve where he got engaged, as well as having a brief official meeting with Kenya’s president Uhuru Kenyatta.
The Duke will arrive in the East African country today, and will call on President Kenyatta at the request of the Foreign Office to “deepen relations between the two countries on a broad range of topics including defence and security, and conservation.
Prince William championed an ambitious project last week to shut down illegal trafficking routes.
Leading figures from conservation charities, airliners, shipping organisations and other bodies signed up to a declaration committing them to major steps to tackle smugglers moving rhino horn, ivory and other endangered animal parts for huge profits.
After meeting with President Kenyatta, William who is the royal patron of the wildlife conservation organisation Tusk Trust will spend the remainder of the day seeing first-hand some of the long standing conservation and anti-poaching initiatives taking place in Kenya which are supported by the trust.
