The Prince of Wales and Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall are due to visit Kildare tomorrow Thursday, May 11 as part of their Irish tour.
UPDATE: Curragh on lockdown as Kildare prepares for Prince Charles and Camilla visit today
The precise details of the visit are being kept under wraps because of security operations.
Plans are in place for Prince Charles and his wife, Camilla to visit two Lilywhite locations in the afternoon after a trip to Kilkenny City and Thomastown in the morning.
The Royal Party are expected to Kilkenny shortly after 1pm and travel to Thomastown for a short visit before departing at 2.20pm.
Kilkenny City will be open for business as usual. The public will be facilitated to view the visit of Their Royal Highnesses in Kildare. However, it's not clear if members of the public will be able to greet the pair when they arrive in Kildare.
Prince Charles is expected to call to the UN Army Training School in the Curragh Camp, while the Irish National Stud will welcome Camilla.
The Irish National Stud is no stranger to royalty. The Queen famously visited the landmark tourist destination during her historic visit to Ireland in 2011.
