The Prince and Princess of Wales will meet Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi during their three-day trip to Mumbai this week. Kensington Palace has rejigged the couple’s schedule to fit in the bilateral meeting on Wednesday, which will see them travel to New Delhi to wrap up their official visit.

William and Catherine will arrive in India tomorrow in their first joint foreign trip in almost three years, and the princess’s first long-haul visit since her cancer diagnosis.

They are greatly looking forward to the trip, which is primarily about the prince’s annual Earthshot Prize Awards, and marks the first time they have returned to India since their last official visit in 2016.

A Kensington Palace spokesperson said: “They had such incredibly fond memories of their last visit and returning a decade later makes the week all the more special.”

Billed as “an important moment” of the trip, the meeting showcases William’s important role as a global statesman in helping to strengthen and celebrate the ties between the UK and India.

The spokesperson said: “The United Kingdom and India share one of the most important international relationships, with deep and growing connections across trade, investment, defence, security, technology, education and culture.

“And this meeting reflects the importance of that relationship, as well as the role Their Royal Highnesses can play in celebrating and strengthening the ties between our two countries.”

Prime Minister Modi will return from the ASEAN-India Summit in Manila, the Philippines, for the meeting.

“The Prince is very conscious of the responsibility that comes with his position and the contribution he can make by bringing people together and supporting relationships that matter to the UK. It is also particularly special that the Princess will be alongside him for this meeting.”
