Further details of Prince William’s trip to Israel next month have been announced, with the Duke of Cambridge to visit both Tel Aviv and Jerusalem.

The prince’s five-day visit to the region will start on June 24 in Amman, Jordan. He will also visit the cities of Jerash in Jordan and Ramallah in the West Bank, the current seat of the Palestinian Authority. The trip will end in Jerusalem.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the prince would be received “with great affection” by Israel, and described the visit as “historic… the first of its kind.”

No member of the Royal family has previously visited the country in an official capacity, although William’s father, Prince Charles, and grandfather, Prince Philip, have both paid unofficial visits. Prince Philip’s mother, Princess Alice of Battenberg, is buried on the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem.
