A statement by Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton on The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's upcoming tour to Singapore, Malaysia, Solomon Islands and Tuvalu
30th August 2012

Good morning, everyone. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will be visiting Singapore, Malaysia, Solomon Islands and Tuvalu from 11th-19th September in celebration of The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. Their Royal Highnesses visit Singapore and Malaysia on behalf of the British Government as guests of the two hosts countries; while in Solomon Islands and Tuvalu, Their Royal Highnesses visit on behalf of Her Majesty The Queen, who is Sovereign of these two Commonwealth nations.

The destinations were chosen by The Queen for The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, which underlines the importance that Her Majesty attaches to these significant nations in South East Asia, and their relationship to the United Kingdom, and to two of Her Majesty’s Realms in the South Pacific. The Visit forms one of a number undertaken by Members of the Royal Family to Her Majesty’s Realms and to Commonwealth nations during the course of this Jubilee year.

The aim of this Tour is to celebrate The Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. The Duke and Duchess will use the Tour to pay tribute through what they do and say, and who they meet, to The Queen’s lifetime of dedication to the mix of peoples and cultures that make up all of Her Majesty’s Realms and the Commonwealth. The Tour will comprise a mixture of formal and informal moments which reflect these aims and The Duke and Duchess’s characters and interests specifically.

The Duke and Duchess arrive on Tuesday 11th September in Singapore mid-afternoon, where they will be met at Changi International Airport by representatives of the Singaporean Government and the British High Commissioner. After introductions, Their Royal Highnesses will travel to the Singapore Botanic Gardens where they take part in a ceremony during which an orchid is to be named in their honour. This is an honour that has been bestowed on other Members of the British Royal Family, as well as other significant public figures from around the world. During Their Royal Highnesses’ brief time at the Botanic Gardens, The Duke and Duchess will be shown an orchid named after Diana, Princess of Wales which the late Princess never had a chance to see in person.

In the evening, the Royal couple attend a State Dinner given by The President of Singapore at his official residence, the Istana. The Duke will review a Guard of Honour on their arrival at the Istana before Their Royal Highnesses pay official calls on the Prime Minister and the President of Singapore. Following these meetings, The Duke and Duchess will join a reception of guests invited to the State Dinner, before sitting down to the dinner itself. The Duke will be invited to give an address on behalf of The Queen at the State Dinner.

The Royal couple’s first engagement on Wednesday 12th September will be at the Gardens by the Bay. The Gardens are an extraordinary feat of architecture and engineering with strong British involvement in their creation. Their Royal Highnesses will first visit one of the two large glass domes – in effect, huge conservatories – at the Gardens, in which is housed an artificial rainforest mountain. The couple will be accompanied by a guide as they descend the artificial mountain on foot, who will explain the flora and fauna contained in the dome. The couple will then visit the Colonial Garden, which is outside of the dome, where they will be invited to plant a tree.

Following the tree-planting, Their Royal Highnesses will travel to the Rolls Royce aircraft engine factory in Seletar, Singapore. When fully up and running, the factory will produce about 250 engines a year, including for A380 and other large aircraft. Globally, the Rolls Royce Group has a customer base comprising more than 500 airlines and160 armed forces, as well as marine and energy customers in more than 80 countries. They are a very proud British success story, and the new Singapore factory is a key component of their continued and growing success. The plant was opened officially earlier this year and The Duke and Duchess will be asked to unveil the first operational engine produced by the factory. The Duke will make a speech to staff at the official unveiling of the engine. The couple will also be taken on a tour of the high-tech site where they will have a chance to meet staff and to see the engines being assembled and tested.

In the afternoon, Their Royal Highnesses will visit Strathmore Green, a precinct in Queenstown, which is a residential district of Singapore. The area was chosen since it was named after the present Queen. On arrival at the precinct, the couple will view a cultural performance that will showcase the three main cultures of Singapore: the Chinese, Malay and Indian communities. The couple will also view children’s games and meet local residents. We anticipate that some local residents and other members of the public who wish to meet Their Royal Highnesses may also attend this celebration. The Duke and Duchess will use the opportunity of the visit to the Queenstown Precinct to learn more about Singaporean public housing, of which Singaporeans are rightly proud.

Following the visit to the precinct, the Royal couple travel a short distance away, still within Queenstown, to the Rainbow Centre, which is a school and community centre for children with special needs. Here, The Duke and Duchess will split, with The Duke spending time with children participating in a Physical Education [PE] session and The Duchess will meet children engaged in arts therapy classes – something that The Duchess was keen to see for herself given her Patronage of The Arts Room here in the United Kingdom. The couple will rejoin at a theatrical and musical performance given by children at the school in Their Royal Highnesses’ honour and where they will be invited to unveil a plaque commemorating their visit to the school. The Rainbow Centre celebrates its 20th anniversary this year as a school for special education.

In the evening, The Duke and Duchess will attend a reception at Eden Hall, the British High Commissioner’s residence, for prominent Singaporeans and members of the British and international expatriate communities. Guests will be drawn from the world of politics, business, the arts and sport. The Duke and Duchess will be invited to hear a performance by an artist from the Musicity programme, which is a musical project supported by the British Council that blends British, Singaporean and other musical genres, and which will form a very fitting end to a busy first full day in Singapore.

On Thursday 13th September, Their Royal Highnesses will begin the day at Kranji Commonwealth War Cemetery. Thousands of British and other Commonwealth servicemen lost their lives in the defence of Singapore and the subsequent occupation by Japanese forces, and The Duke and Duchess wished to pay tribute to their sacrifice at this most beautiful and peaceful of settings. The Duke and Duchess will lay a wreath made of local flowers at the War Memorial before meeting veterans and serving military from Singapore, Britain, Australia and New Zealand. On their departure from the cemetery, The Duke and Duchess may have a chance to view a number of graves, particularly those of British and ANZAC servicemen. The visit to Kranji marks the end of Their Royal Highnesses’ visit to Singapore.

The Royal couple travel on a scheduled flight to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, where they will be met at the International airport by representatives of the Malaysian Government and the British High Commissioner. Their Royal Highnesses’ first engagement is a lunch hosted by the Prime Minister at his official residence. The lunch will include a musical performance by young people supported by a charity of which the Prime Minister’s wife is Patron.

Following the lunch, the couple visit Hospis Malaysia, which is a leading hospice located in central Kuala Lumpur. The Duchess is Patron of East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices and Her Royal Highness is keen to use her visit to learn more about how the hospice movement works in Malaysia. Their Royal Highnesses will tour the building where they will have a chance to meet child and adult users of the hospice, as well as their families, before they are invited to unveil a plaque. The Duchess of Cambridge will give a short speech at the end of this visit to patients and staff, drawing on her own growing experience of the hospice movement in the United Kingdom.

In the evening, The Duke and Duchess will attend an official dinner given by His Majesty The Agong at his official residence, the Istana Negara, in Kuala Lumpur.

On Friday 14th September, Their Royal Highnesses will attend a cultural event in a Kuala Lumpur Park. The event will be a highly colourful, musical and energetic affair, and a wonderful opportunity for Their Royal Highnesses to experience the diversity and richness of Malaysian culture. The Duke and Duchess are very much looking forward to experiencing first-hand the warm welcome for which Malaysians are famed.

Following the cultural event, Their Royal Highnesses will be guests of honour at a lunch given by the British Malaysian Chamber of Commerce. Trade links between the United Kingdom and Malaysia are historically strong, and growing, and The Duke will give a speech at the lunch to the assembled businessmen and women in which he will underline the importance of the relationship both for British and Malaysian prosperity and for cultural ties between the two nations.

Following the lunch, The Duke and Duchess will attend a Diamond Jubilee tea party hosted by the British High Commissioner and his wife at their residence – hopefully, weather-permitting, in their garden. The guests for the traditionally British tea party will be drawn from across civil society and will be chance for the High Commission to deepen the existing strong bonds of friendship. At the occasion, The Duke and Duchess will be invited to sample a new tea created by a leading Malaysian tea manufacturer, BOH, in honour of the Diamond Jubilee.

Following the tea party, Their Royal Highnesses bid farewell to Kuala Lumpur and depart on an aircraft kindly lent by the Malaysian Government to Kota Kinabalu, in Sabah, Malaysia. Sabah is one of the two States that makes up the Malaysian portion of Borneo. On arrival in Sabah, Their Royal Highnesses will attend a reception hosted by the Sabah State Government in their honour, before retiring for the night.

The Duke and Duchess’s primary reason for wishing to visit Sabah owes itself to The Duke’s longstanding interest in conservation. Sabah is home to some of the last remaining areas of primary tropical rainforest in South East Asia, and the Royal Society – of which The Duke is a Fellow – run a world-leading research station at a place called Danum Valley, deep in the rainforest. The visit is a means for The Duke and Duchess, and those of you in the media who accompany them, to experience the ecological wealth of Sabah’s forests and the importance of supporting the efforts of the scientists working to understand and conserve them. As you can imagine, Their Royal Highnesses are looking forward immensely to seeing this virgin jungle, which can genuinely be described as one of the natural wonders of the world. I might add at this juncture that Sabah enjoys a network of 6,000m square kilometres of fully protected forests and deforestation rates remain low compared to other neighbouring areas. The stated aim of the State Government is to keep a natural forest cover of close to 50 per cent of the State.

On Saturday 15th September, The Duke and Duchess will travel by Government helicopter to Danum Valley where they will have a chance to meet Royal Society scientists and volunteers, and to experience some of the jungle for themselves through an opportunity to be lifted up in to a tree to view the jungle canopy and to go on a jungle walk. The Duke and Duchess may have a chance to see wild orang-utans and other animals, although such encounters are far from guaranteed. Following the visit to the research station, Their Royal Highnesses will retire privately to a nearby lodge for a private lunch.

The visit to the Royal Society’s research station at Danum Valley marks the end of Their Royal Highnesses’ visit to Malaysia.

On Sunday 16th September, The Duke and Duchess travel to Honiara, in Solomon Islands, where they will represent The Queen on the occasion of the Diamond Jubilee. The visit will, we hope, be enormous fun and celebratory in tone, reflecting The Queen’s wishes that The Duke and Duchess might pass on Her Majesty’s warmest regards to her people in Solomon Islands.

The Duke and Duchess will be met on their arrival at Honiara airport by a traditional and colourful Solomon Island welcome, replete with garlands of flowers and warriors in traditional dress. The Duke and Duchess will be formally welcomed by The Queen’s representative, The Governor-General and his wife, and they will review a Guard of Honour at the airport.

Their Royal Highnesses will then make their way in an open-topped vehicle to the Church of Melanesia cathedral in Honiara, where they will attend a joyful service of thanksgiving for the life of dedicated service of The Queen.

Following the church service, in the evening, The Duke and Duchess will attend an Island Feast, given in the traditional manner outdoors, hosted by the Governor-General at his official residence. The Duke will use the occasion to pass on Her Majesty’s warm wishes in a speech. Shortly before the State Dinner, the Duke and Duchess will pay a private call on the Governor-General and his wife.

On Monday 17th September, Their Royal Highnesses will begin the day with a call on Prime Minister and members of the Cabinet at the Prime Minister’s Office.

Following the meeting, The Duke and Duchess will travel to a cultural village in Honiara, where the Royal couple will view performances by the nine provinces that make up the nation. Each performance will be given in front of a house built in accordance with the traditions of the particular province. The engagement will be a chance, also, for Their Royal Highnesses to meet Solomon Islanders who may also wish to view the performances.

Following the visit to the cultural village, The Duke and Duchess will split, the only time they do so on the Tour to go on separate engagements. The Duke will briefly attend a conference given for young leaders from the Commonwealth nations in the Pacific, where he will be invited to give some short remarks. The Duke will subsequently award six Duke of Edinburgh gold awards to Solomon Islanders and one awardee from Vanuatu. Meanwhile, The Duchess will attend a reception for Solomon Island women’s groups.

The couple will then re-join each other to travel together to a memorial in Honiara to the Coast Watchers, who were courageous Allied and Commonwealth soldiers and Solomon Islanders who hid along the coast of the nation’s 1,000 islands to pass on intelligence about Japanese military movements during the Second World War. Their contribution and sacrifice made a huge difference to the success of the Allies’ war effort in the South Pacific. The Duke and Duchess will lay a wreath before meeting veterans of the Coast Watch. They will open formally Commonwealth Street, on which the Memorial stands, which is close to Point Cruz, where the Spanish explorer Mendana landed in 1568.

Following their visit to pay respects at the Memorial, The Duke and Duchess will attend a lunch reception hosted by the Prime Minister in aid of Solomon Islands charities, including representatives of the Diamond Jubilee Trust. The reception will be a chance for Their Royal Highnesses to meet Solomon Islanders who volunteer their time to support others, and will no doubt offer The Duke and Duchess the opportunity to learn more about some of the main issues facing Solomon Islanders in their daily lives.

Following the lunch reception, The Duke and Duchess will fly to Marau, which is on the furthest end of the main island Guadalcanal. At Marau, The Duke and Duchess will be honoured by a welcome by leaders and members of the local communities. The welcome ceremony has been developed entirely by the local people and promises to be a very special and memorable moment for Their Royal Highnesses in such a remote and beautiful location, and Their Royal Highnesses are deeply touched by the honour being extended them on behalf of The Queen.

Following the ceremony at Marau, the Royal couple will proceed by boat to the island of Marapa, where they will first visit a village before travelling on a traditional war canoe the short distance between Marapa and Tavanipupu. On arrival on Tavanipupu, The Duke and Duchess will be met by a local musical and dance welcome, before retiring privately for the night at the exceptionally beautiful resort hotel. The Solomon Islands’ vast archipelago is largely undeveloped for tourism, yet the nation offers some of the best diving and reefs anywhere in the world. Their Royal Highnesses’ stay at Tavanipupu will no doubt be one of their most memorable anywhere on the Tour.

The following morning – Tuesday 18th September – Their Royal Highnesses travel back to Honiara, where they will participate in a departure ceremony at Honiara airport. The couple will bid farewell to Solomon Islands and travel to Tuvalu.

The last Royal visit to Tuvalu took place in 1982, when The Queen and The Duke of Edinburgh travelled on Her Majesty’s Yacht Britannia to visit this most striking and remote of nations. The Duke and Duchess feel very honoured to have been asked by Her Majesty to represent her to the people of Tuvalu on the occasion of the Diamond Jubilee. The Duke and Duchess will be met on their arrival at Funafuti airport by a traditional welcome, where they will be received by the Governor-General and a Guard of Honour – as befitting their status. The Duke and Duchess will be carried off their aircraft to the welcoming ceremony, where The Duke will give a speech on behalf of The Queen to her people in Tuvalu.

Following the welcoming ceremony, the Royal couple will proceed around Funafuti island, where they will visit the primary school and the university campus and they will stop to view a coconut tree planted by The Queen during her 1982 visit. The Duke and Duchess will also view a canoe race and watch a local ball game before finally ending up at a mocked-up traditional Tuvaluan village, where the couple will view demonstrations of traditional crafts and cooking.

The tour round the island will take most of the afternoon, and at various points, Their Royal Highnesses will be accompanied by local guides and dignitaries who will explain a number of issues that are pertinent to the island. Of primary concern to the Tuvaluan Government is the issue of rising sea levels and coastal erosion, which severely threaten the long-term survival of their nation. The Duke studied the effects of rising sea levels on reefs at university, and so the issue is one about which he is very passionate and is keen to learn more.

In the evening, The Duke and Duchess will attend a traditional dinner, hosted by the Governor-General, where Their Royal Highnesses will have a chance to sample traditional Tuvaluan food before watching a performance of local dances. The couple will subsequently retire privately for the night, the first time that a Member of the Royal Family has stayed overnight on an island of Tuvalu.

The following morning, following a departure ceremony, The Duke and Duchess will bid farewell to Tuvalu, and will return home to London via a brief change of aircraft in Brisbane.

Before I hand over to Miguel, a word if I might about Their Royal Highnesses’ travel arrangements and their tour party. The Duke and Duchess will travel by scheduled flights to and from London to the region, and on all flights except between Kuala Lumpur and Kota Kinabalu and between Sabah, Solomon Islands and Tuvalu. It is always The Duke and Duchess’s preference to travel by scheduled flight wherever they can, but the practicalities of getting from Malaysia to Solomon Islands mean that a charter was the only option available in the time available. The same charter aircraft will take the Royal party, and a small pool of media, from Solomon Islands to Tuvalu, since there is no scheduled flight open to The Duke and Duchess. The charter plane is as small as possible, given the distances involved. We have done everything in our power to ensure that the costs of the travel arrangements are kept as low as possible.

The tour party is consistent with Their Royal Highnesses’ last tour to Canada, and the only difference is the addition of an orderly, who will manage tour logistics and other practicalities. The Tour party consists of me and the Assistant Private Secretary Rebecca Deacon, two press officers at any one time (including Miguel), a personal assistant, the orderly that I just mentioned and – paid for privately – a hairdresser. Sir David Manning will also accompany Their Royal Highnesses throughout. This numbers nine staff in total, although only eight will accompany at any one time.

Пишут, что у принца Гарри достаточно серьезные отношения завязались с Крессидой Бонас. Они, якобы, провели вместе какое-то время на острове Ричарда Брансона до поездки Гарри в Лас-Вегас.

Потом начинаются расхождения. Пока на одних сайтах обсуждают подходящесть Крессиды в качестве члена королевской семьи, на других пишут, что она бросила Гарри после публикации снимков.

Посмотрим

У нас в Италии был скандалец по этому поводу - соседи написали коллективное обращение в правохранительные органы, дабы принц привел свой дом в надлежащий вид, а то там крысы, бомжи и другая нечисть водилась. В итальянских СМИ публиовали фотографии.
