Prince William and Duchess Catherine

Britain's Prince William has been working on his dance moves ahead of his upcoming visit to the Solomon Islands.

The royal and his wife Duchess Catherine will represent William's grandmother on a trip to the Commonwealth archipelago for her Diamond Jubilee celebrations and Catherine revealed her husband is already trying out some special steps.

She told Governor-General Sir Frank Kabui: 'William's been working on his dance moves.'

William added: 'We're extremely excited. Neither of us have ever been anywhere near this.'

The royal couple will arrive in the country in the second week of September, according to Nigel Maezama, the Private Secretary to the Governor General.

He said: 'The second week of September is listed as the time they will arrive in the country apart from other countries they will be visiting.'

He also said the duration of time they would be staying in the country and the proposed places they would be visiting needs to be confirmed.

A committee has been set up to prepare for Prince William and Duchess Catherine's visit and they have already been working on plans for their arrival.

The couple - who married last April - will also be visiting Malaysia, Singapore, and Tuvalu.

Their visits are part of the British royals' global tour this year to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's Diamond Jubilee.

They will visit every realm where the queen is head of state as well as trips to other major countries in the Commonwealth.
