While the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are set to tour countries in Africa in October, new reports have emerged that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will be heading on their own international tour to Asia, around the same time.

According to the Daily Mail , William and Kate are planning a tour of Asia in the "autumn" (New Zealand's spring), just weeks apart from Harry and Meghan's trip to Africa.

Sources informed the Daily Mail that the royal couple are likely to focus on Commonwealth countries which could include Bangladesh, India, Malaysia and Singapore.

According to sources there's a high chance the couple may visit Sri Lanka, following the horrific terror attack on Easter Sunday which killed at least 258 people – Prince William visited New Zealand in April this year following the Christchurch terror attacks on March 15.

While a visit to China was said to have been considered, according to the news outlet it has since been ruled out, as has a stop in Brunei which has received condemnation for its human rights record.

Kensington Palace has not yet confirmed the tour, but the news outlet claims an announcement will be made in the coming weeks.
