Prince William follows in royal elder’s footsteps

Prince William is due to take a solo trip to two countries that while he has not visited yet, his parents and grandparents have.

The royal heir is dutifully following in the footsteps of his father and Her Majesty who both visited Kuwait and Oman for their royal duties.

According the royal’s website, Prince William’s time in both countries will be jampacked with engagements that are meant to “pay tribute to the historic ties Britain shares with Kuwait and Oman, and will highlight strong links and cooperation in many areas, including education, the environment, and defence”.

So far, the Duke has paid a visit to Jahra Nature Reserve, where he learned from Sheikh Abdullah Ahmad Al-Humoud Al-Sabah, director of Kuwait's environment public authority, about the environmental work being done in the area.

 "We have made a difference to the way we live. We've made sure when traveling here we only take our metal bottles with us. Lots of metal bottles," the royal said he examined bits of rubbish strewn on the floor, per the Daily Mail.

"You see a plastic bottle and I'm like 'eugh!' Horrible, isn't it?"

He also paid a visit to the Sheikh Abdullah Al Salem Cultural Centre, where the Duke learned about the institution's youth education programs.
