Kate Middleton is coming up to her 10-year milestone as being part of the royal family, so it’d be fair to assume she has experienced most of what royal life has to offer.
Meanwhile, Meghan Markle has been a part of the family for a little under three years, and it’d be fair to assume she’s experienced quite a bit less than what Kate has.
However, the Duchess of Sussex has been given an honour by the Queen, which the Duchess of Cambridge is yet to receive.
Upon marrying Prince Harry in May of 2018, the former Suits actress stepped out one month later in June for a solo engagement with Her Majesty, where she received the honour of travelling by the royal train with the monarch.
While the Duchess of Cambridge also embarked on a solo engagement with the Queen after she married Prince William in 2011, she is yet to experience travelling on the royal train with Her Majesty.
But this is now set to change, according to a press release from Kensington Palace.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are set to embark on a tour around the United Kingdom, where the couple will travel via the royal train. This tour is to honour and visit and thank those who have been on the frontlines during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Per , the press release states that “ahead of the Christmas holidays to pay tribute to the incredible work of individuals and organisations that have gone above and beyond in response to the coronavirus pandemic”.
The royal couple were set to commence their mini-tour on Sunday, December 6 where they plan to “travel 1250 miles and undertake working visits, meeting frontline workers, volunteers, care home staff, teachers, schoolchildren and young people to hear about their experiences, sacrifices and the inspiring work they have done throughout this challenging year”.
And, of course, the couple will ensure they will be leading by example following health and safety guidelines from the government in order to prevent the further spread of COVID-19.
