Prince Charles is to visit Israel and the occupied Palestinian territories in January, Clarence House has announced.

He will attend the World Holocaust Forum at Yad Vashem on January 23 at the invitation of President Reuben Rivlin, where he will "undertake a number of engagements on behalf of the British Government" and then visit the occupied territories at the invitation of President Mohammad Abbas.

His wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, will visit Auschwitz on Holocaust Memorial Day on January 27, where around 200 Holocaust survivors will take part in events commemorating of the 75th anniversary of the camp's liberation in 1945.

Charles' trip will be his first where he undertakes official engagements in Israel and the Palestinian Occupied Territories. He has previously visited Jerusalem twice in 1995 and 2016 to attend the funerals of Yitzhak Rabin and Shimon Peres respectively.

It follows Prince William's visit in June last year, the first ever official visit by a senior Royal.
