this is second visit for couple

[hornsen]

Wow, thats a surprise. It´s a short visit but, I´m looking very forward to it. After the last visit they said they want to come back. But I didn´t believe they would do it so fast.

[Avalon]

According to the official website of the Prince of Wales, The main themes of the visit are youth development, urban regeneration and environmental conservation.

It is interesting though that no events are listed in the Diary section between January 5th (when Camilla will open the Health Sciences Building at the University of Aberdeen Medical School) and January 27 (visit to the USA).

[hornsen]

I think they are on vacation at Birkhall. Camillas event will be a "time out".

[Skydragon]

Yes, they are at Birkhall at the moment. It is possible other events will come before the visit to the US, don't forget a lot of them are only announced a week in advance.

[Roslyn]

Twice to the US?!?! When are they going to come here? *pout*

ETA Maybe I need to write her a letter and tell her we'd love to see her

You´re right Skydragon! I just read on the Pow website about a new engagement on Thursday 18th :

The Duchess will present certificates to children during a visit to the Hayfield Riding Centre, Aberdeen.

I think there will follow more duties. Maybe with her husband...or is he only a holidaymaker in Scotland...

Royal couple prepare for US visit

The couple loves to visit each coast of the USA. They need to visit the heartland of the good ole USA!!
Like Texas.!

I think it is a right decision for the Prince and the Duchess to go abroad at the time of the memorial concert. I never thought that they would be at the concert, Charles backs the wish of his sons to have this pop concert, but he and Camilla can not stay in front of the journalists and emotional Diana fans this day.
But i´m sure the couple will attend the memorial service.That is another kind of event and they are invited.

I think they will visit again the US because the Prince will receive this very important prize in New York, and he will continue his talks with Al Gore.
The questions about environmental things are more than ever near to his heart.
But i think the couple will go abroad to other and longer visits in spring and autumn like the year before.
Germany could be a good place for a visit...

Thank you for the information!

Looks like they are going to be very busy.

I hope the Royals have a nice trip to our city. It mentions the Mummers in the Inquirer article. I sure hope they get to hear one of the String Bands play. They are loads of fun. They are going to see some of the beautiful historic areas of our city. The mural area in West Philly can be dodgy but some neighborhoods are still kept quite nice. They have been talking about it on the local news a lot. I am sure it will get loads of coverage this weekend as we don't get many royal visits to our fair city. I hope they can get a Cheesesteak while they are here. I have never found a good Cheesesteak anywhere outside the immediate Philly area.

Thank you Dennism for posting the schedule for the US visit of the Royal Couple!
I´m looking so much forward to see the pics from their trip!
