KATE AND WILLIAM CALL AN END TO 'LENGTHY ROYAL TOURS' AS FAMILY COMES FIRST FOR COUPLE

Kate, Princess of Wales, and Prince William see the "days of lengthy tours over", a royal source has claimed, as the new era of the world's most famous family begins to take shape.

The Prince and Princess of Wales are expected to keep up their grueling schedule of attending royal functions and trips, continuing their ardent work in supporting Charles as his reign builds momentum.

It coincides with Charles's plan to go on the largest-ever series of official royal functions throughout Britain, the Commonwealth and other nations throughout the globes, "extending a hand of friendship and support" from the British monarchy.

Among the nations set to welcome Charles, his wife Queen Camilla, and members of his entourage is the US, Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan and Bangladesh.

But royal expert Jennie Bond has claimed that while Charles may go on long overseas ventures, for now at least William and Kate will respect their children's school schedules to ensure they can spend as much time with them as possible.

She told OK! that while the couple will likely wish to be by their children's side more frequently as they grow up, they would remain loyal to His Majesty.

Ms Bond said: "William and Catherine are really the stars of the Royal Family these days. They have youth on their side and a good dusting of glamour surrounds them.

"They are also extremely popular both here and abroad. So there is no doubt that the foreign office will be calling on them to carry out some high-profile royal tours.

"But I think the days of lengthy tours, leaving the children to be looked after by nannies, are over. Largely, I think the school holidays will be respected, and future tours will be short and extremely busy."

The next months are likely to be crucial for Charles as he maps out his hopes and ambitions for his time on the throne.

A royal source told The Mirror that he was keen to "hit the ground running in these crucial first few months and years of his reign".

They added: "He certainly wants to carry on the long-held mantra from his late mother of being seen to be believed, and is very keen to get out and meet as many people as possible."

Charles's decision to take on a number of major Commonwealth visits comes as republicanism throughout the realm grows, including inside the likes of Saint Nevis and Kitts.

The King, a source said, is "acutely aware" of the threat this poses the monarchy, with many Commonwealth countries looking to see how Barbados runs after leaving the realm.

Some sources claimed to The Mirror that Charles may even pack in as many trips as his late mother, Queen Elizabeth II, did during the Seventies.

During that period Her Majesty made 52 Commonwealth visits, as well as 21 trips to other nations, to help her mark her Silver Jubilee.

Prior to his Coronation last month, Charles undertook his visit royal visit, which saw him travel to Germany.
