Prince William and Duchess Catherine are to meet Hollywood stars Alicia Vikander and Stellan Skarsgard in their hometown of Sweden this month.
Prince William and Duchess Catherine
The royal couple will arrive in Stockholm on January 30th for their two-day visit, before travelling to Norway on February 1.
On their first day, they will head to Vasaparken to watch a match of traditional ice hockey, which is known as bandy, where they will be introduced to the players.
The only difference to traditional ice hockey, is the fact there are teams of 11 and a game can last for over 90 minutes.
The 35-year-old royal and his 36-year-old spouse - who are expecting their third child, who will be a young sibling to four-year-old Prince George and his two-year-old sister Princess Charlotte - will then spend time with King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia at Stockholm's Royal Palace, with Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel.
Then they will be given a guided tour of the Old Town and meet locals at Stortorget square.
Then on February 1, they will be guests at a black tie dinner hosted by Prime Minister Stefan Lofven held at the Residence of the British Ambassador, where 'Tulip Fever' actress Vikander, and 'Thor' star Skarsgård, will be present.
Their busy schedule will also see them join Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel at Matteusskolan, a comprehensive school in the heart of the city centre. T
The four of them will then make a trip to one of Sweden's leading department stores - NK - to open an interactive exhibition of UK design, fashion and brands that operate in Sweden.
On their last evening in Stockholm, The Duke and Duchess will attend an event at the Fotografiska Gallery, which at night boasts glittering views over Stockholm. The event will be a celebration of contemporary culture with guests representing the worlds of music, film, television, theatre, tech, dance, art and sport, with live music, drinks and canapés. The Duke will also deliver a speech at this event. Weather permitting, Their Royal Highnesses will travel to Fotografiska by boat, allowing William and Catherine to take in the views of Stockholm by night as they pass around the harbour.
Much more activities are also planned for the couple.
