Prince William will sit down for talks with the Israeli prime minister and the Palestinian president during his historic visit to the Middle East.
William will also visit Jordan, and the capital Amman where his wife the Duchess of Cambridge lived from May 1984 until September 1986.
'The non-political nature of His Royal Highness's role – in common with all Royal visits overseas –allows a spotlight to be brought to bear on the people of the region: their cultures, their young people, their aspirations, and their experiences.'
The palace said his 'goal' is to meet as 'many people from as many walks of life as possible.'
The statement said: 'The historic nature of this tour is of course important and The Duke considers it a great privilege to be undertaking the first ever official Royal tour of Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories and to be able to help further strengthen the friendship between Jordan and the United Kingdom.
'More importantly, however, The Duke is looking forward to building a real and enduring relationship with the people of the region.
'In particular he is pleased that his programme will allow him to meet a number of people from his own generation and young Jordanians, Israelis, and Palestinians. His Royal Highness is looking forward to learning about their unique perspectives, but also their shared ambitions and hopes for the future.'

Parts of Amman look like Beverly Hills! And Petra is NOT TO BE MISSED!
