Kate Middleton represents ailing Queen in solo visit to Denmark

Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, flew to Denmark on Tuesday for a rare solo tour of the country during which she will be representing the Queen.

According to People, Middleton is visiting Denmark in an effort to promote her exemplary work for early childhood education and will be staying in Copenhagen, the country’s capital, for two days.

The Duchess’ visit to Denmark with the Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood sees her representing the Queen abroad and as part of it, she will be holding audience with Denmark’s Queen Margrethe II.

Middleton is also expected to spend time with the Crown Princess Mary, wife to Crown Prince Frederik, the heir to the throne.

The Duchess’ visit was first announced on the Kensington Royal Twitter account earlier this month.

“Looking forward to learning from experts, parents & practitioners about Denmark’s approach to early childhood later this month. Denmark is a beacon of best practice in its approach to the early years, with a culture which prioritises the best start in life,” it read.
