The Prince and Princess of Wales will visit Birmingham later this week.

William and Kate will meet future leaders in the arts and creative industries on Thursday, April 20.

They will host designers, artists and playwrights at The Rectory restaurant on the edge of the city’s historic Jewellery Quarter.

During their visit to Birmingham, the royal couple will also hear about how the sector is growing as well as their guests’ experiences of opening and running a business in the city.

William and Kate will then join guests for a game of interactive darts downstairs in the 180 Club before greeting members of the public outside.

The Jewellery Quarter is a hub for artistic businesses in Birmingham which produces up to 40% of all jewellery made in the UK.

The royal visit to Birmingham comes just over two weeks before the Bank Holiday weekend that will see King Charles III crowned.

On May 6, the King’s Coronation will take place at Westminster Abbey followed by a concert at Windsor Castle on May 7.

The concert's line up so far confirms Take That, Katy Perry and Lionel Richie will perform.
