Prince William and Kate Middleton News Update and Rumors: After 24 years, History Repeats Itself! The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge to Visit India
Princess Diana, famous for her beauty and charity, visited India in the year 1992 and was also photographed in front of the Taj Mahal. The photo has since turned into an embodiment of her everlasting charm and grace.
24 years after this famous photo was captured, Princess Diana's eldest son, Prince William and his wife, Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge will visit the monument of love in a beautiful instance of history repeating itself. Unlike Princess Diana's doomed marriage, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are famous for being a happy, well-matched couple. The official spokesperson of the family, Jason Knauf, is reported to have said that the Prince feels extremely lucky to be able to visit a place where his mother's memory remains alive through the eyes of countless travelers. He added that the couple is excited at this opportunity to experience India and Bhutan and to pay homage to the 166 people who died in the 2008 Mumbai hotel attacks. The royal couple will be travelling without their children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, who will remain in England according to the statement released by Kensington Palace.
The tour, which begins on April 10, 2016 and continues till April 16, 2016 will also include a trip to Kaziranga National Park in Assam and the Pao Taktsang, the Tiger's Nest monastery in Bhutan. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are committed to the cause of stopping illegal poaching and their visit to Kaziranga is reported to be an attempt to study the dwindling population of the Indian one-horned rhinos and swamp deer.
The tour is also reported to be the result of the recent furor caused due to the low number of social appearances made by Prince William over the last year. On the contrary, Prince Albert, the Duke of Edinburgh and Prince William's grandfather was reported to have appeared at social events 250 times last year alone. The current trip to India and Bhutan is allegedly an effort to improve his reputation as a responsible member of the Royal family.
