Kensington Palace has released more details over what the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will get up to when they visit Cornwall this week.

First up for the royal couple is a trip to Truro Cathedral, this coming Thursday.

It is understood Prince William and Kate will be signing a slate as part of the cathedral’s campaign to fund a new roof.

The cathedral is offering people the chance to be a part of history by sharing a slate with five other people for£5 each, or sponsoring an entire slate to write or draw on as they wish for £25. There is also a high end option of paying £250 to enjoy a “VIP signing experience” for up to four people to write messages onto the slate at an invitation-only drinks reception hosted by the Dean.

It is not known whether the Duke and Duchess will be making a personal donation to the campaign during their visit.

Following their time in Truro they will head to Newquay for the remainder of the day, visiting the Nansledan and Tregunnel Hill developments, both overseen by the Duchy of Cornwall.

The 218-hectare Nansledan site to the east of Newquay is expected to take around 40 years to develop and should eventually include 4,000 homes, as well as a high street, primary school, church, community orchard and offices.

Work has already taken place at Tregunnel Hill, where there are now 174 high homes and employment space for around 30 jobs.

The royal couple will finally see the work of the Wave Project, which helps children learn confidence through surfing.

Following an overnight stay in the Duchy, William and Kate will head over to the Isles of Scilly for the remainder of their trip.

Here they will visit Porthmellon beach and the harbour at St Mary's, Tresco Abbey Gardens at Tresco, Scilly Flowers at Churchtown Farm, St Martin's and finally the community centre on St Martin's.
