The second-in-line to the British throne was invited to the UAE by the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth, and Development Office to mark Expo 2020 Dubai’s UK "National Day".

"Excited to be arriving in Dubai to celebrate the UK at @DubaiExpo and discuss the vital issue of working together with the UAE and international partners to achieve a more sustainable world with @EarthshotPrize and United for Wildlife," he said in a tweet from the official Duke and Duchess of Cambridge account.

Prince William visited a wildlife sanctuary ahead of an appearance at the Expo. He also paid a visit to the port giant DP World’s Jebel Ali Port.

He is also set to take part in a range of events promoting links between the two countries, focusing on environmental issues, and learning more about initiatives that provide protected areas for the unique flora and fauna of the region.

During the visit, Prince William will also draw attention to two Royal Foundation programs: United for Wildlife and The Earthshot Prize.

This marks Prince William’s first official trip abroad in almost two years and his first-ever official trip to the UAE.
