Off
the heels of their romantic honeymoon, Prince William and Kate
Middleton are trading in the Seychelles for a setting that's a little
less tropical -- Canada. The pair announced an 11-day trip next month to
North American during which they'll even attend a cattle stampede in
Calgary, according to People.
The royal couple will
participate in "the diversity [and] vibrancy of Canada, its geography
and people," a St. James' Palace source told People.
The
trip will mark the couple's first post-wedding royal tour, an important
part of maintaining their world presence as the Duke and Duchess of
Cambridge and the potential future king and queen of England. Plus
Middleton is interested in learning more about her family's history --
her grandfather was stationed as a bomber pilot in Canada during World
War II.
Although their American pit-stops have yet to
be revealed, it has been announced that William and Middleton will
travel from Montreal to Quebec to Calgary during the Canadian leg of
their trip before flying to Los Angeles on July 8. But the pair won't
get caught up in the La-La Land celebrity world.
"The couple view this as a working visit, not as an opportunity for them to meet celebrities," the palace source continued.
We
hope that all work and no play won't make for a dull royal couple. At
least the pair won't be bogged down by a royal fleet of security guards
-- Prince William and Middleton plan on keeping "their entourage to a
minimum." But with a rumored 40 different outfit changes throughout the
tour, we have a feeling Middleton will need more than a few extra men to
carry her bags.
