The royal couple are set to travel abroad for five days from July 17 - beginning in Warsaw and finishing up in Hamburg - but they won't be alone as they have decided Prince George, three, and Princess Charlotte, two, will be joining them for the tour.

A spokesperson for Kensington Palace told the Express.co.uk: "The Duke and Duchess are very much looking forward to this tour and are delighted with the exciting and varied programme that has been put together for it.

"They have decided that their children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte, will travel with them and we expect the children to be seen on at least a couple of occasions over the course of the week. They look forward to a busy and impactful tour, and are grateful that they will have the opportunity to meet the Polish and German people--such important friends of the United Kingdom--as a family."

This will be the second time the foursome have travelled as a family as they toured British Columbia for a week in October, while George joined his parents in Australia and New Zealand - prior to his sister being born - when he was eight months old.
