The Prince and Princess of Wales are to visit the nation for the first time since taking up their titles.

William and Kate will journey the length of Wales during the course of Tuesday.

They will first visit Holyhead in Anglesey taking in the local RNLI lifeboat station as well as meeting local businesses.

They'll then travel the length of the country to take in Swansea where one of their stops is St Thomas Church to see the work being carried out in the community hub.

The royal couple had promised to visit at the earliest opportunity following the death of the Queen, and return hoping to begin "deepening the trust and respect" they have with the people of Wales.

Having made their first home together in Wales is part of why they say they hold such a "deep affection" for the country.

It is also where they raised their eldest child, Prince George, for the first few months of his life.
