Kate Middleton and Prince William are stepping out in Northern Ireland for a surprise visit.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, both 43, arrived in the nation unannounced on Oct. 14.
They are there to spend the day with local people, visiting some of the innovative and growth-creating organizations in the area, seeing where investment is made in rural areas and highlighting entrepreneurial and creative opportunities for young people.
William and Kate last visited together in October 2022, soon after they became Prince and Princess of Wales following the death of Queen Elizabeth in September of that year. William was also in the Northern Ireland capital of Belfast in November 2024, where he hopped on a motorbike simulator and appeared to ride through what looked like the Arizona desert during a visit to a university.
