Los Angeles, USA | 08-10 July 2011

Prince William and the former Kate Middleton plan to combine red-carpet glamour with serious charity work during a trip to California next month. The three-day visit to the Los Angeles area will be Middleton's first visit to the United States.

The royal couple, now known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, will attend a black-tie dinner at LA's renovated Belasco Theater to introduce young British film talent to Hollywood executives on July 9. Earlier that day, William will play at a charity polo match in Santa Barbara, with Middleton scheduled to award the trophy to the winning team.

While in Los Angeles, William and his bride will attend a private reception hosted by Tusk, an African conservation charity of which the prince is a patron, to highlight the group's community development work on the continent. The duo will have the chance to meet a number of philanthropists and donors who are committed to support the work of the charity, Tusk said in a statement.

The royal couple also plans to meet inner-city youths involved in an arts program and to meet military families in Los Angeles to learn more about how veterans are reintegrated into society.

The trip to California will follow a visit to Canada that will mark the royal couple's first overseas engagement since their marriage in late April.

Overon, 30 june to 8 july,2011


Prince William and Kate Middleton will travel light on their first official tour - taking an entourage of seven people on their North America trip.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are touring Canada and USA at the end of the month, taking the small group of Royal Household staff to help them during the 11-day trip, St James's Palace said today.

Royal officials said they have tried to keep the entourage as small as possible while still providing enough support for the Duchess, who will be making her first official overseas trip as a member of the monarchy.


Overon will be offering a wide range of broadcast facilities from Canada and USA:

- Live Stand-Ups Positions
- Multi-format play out
- Connectivity to the OVERON Global Network
