Prince William, Duchess Kate Coming to New York City

— -- Get excited America. The royals are coming back to the United States.

Prince William and his wife, Kate, the Duchess of Cambridge, will cross the pond to visit New York City next month, Kensington Palace announced today.

The royal couple, both 32, are scheduled to visit the United States from Dec. 7-9 to attend events on behalf of the Royal Foundation, "other charities with which Their Royal Highnesses are closely associated" and the U.K. government.

“The charitable themes will include promoting sustainable conservation issues with a particular focus on collaborative working to tackle the illegal wildlife trade, and also supporting organizations which reflect Their Royal Highnesses' interest in young people's mental health and the importance supporting disadvantaged young people from an early age,” the statement read.

Prince William will spend one day of the trip in Washington, D.C., while Kate will remain in New York City, according to Kensington Palace.

It is not known whether the couple will bring their son, 1-year-old Prince George, who traveled with his parents to New Zealand and Australia earlier this year.

Kate has curtailed her public events in recent weeks after the palace announced she is pregnant with the couple’s second child and suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, a condition marked by acute morning sickness.

Kate began resuming her public duties last month. Her first public event since news of her pregnancy was confirmed was welcoming the president and first lady of Singapore to the U.K. for their state visit with the Queen.

The last time Kate and William made the trip to the U.S. was three years ago when they traveled to North America and made a glamorous stop in Los Angeles.

While in New York next month, William and Kate also will visit the National September 11 Memorial and Museum at the World Trade Center to "pay their respects to the nearly 3,000 people who died in the attacks of February 1993 and September 11, 2001," the palace said.
