Kensington Palace recently confirmed that Prince William is going for a solo trip in Japan and China in 2015 without his pregnant wife, Kate Middleton. While the Duchess is staying at home in the U.K. with Prince George, the Duke of Cambridge is reportedly going to spend three days in each country from the last week of February to the first week March.

A first time for a member of a royal member to visit China in 30 years, William's trip will start in the land of the morning sun to support his own interest in stopping the illegal wildlife trade. The 32-year-old royal is scheduled to stay in the country's capital, Tokyo, to work on his campaign on halting the demands for ivory and rhino horn products in Asia. Poachers of these illegal products are reportedly earning up to $1,500 per pound of ivory on the black market, The Week reports.

The visit will also focus more on U.K. - Japan relations, commerce and cultural exchange that will strengthen the relationship between two thriving countries. After the Japan visit, Will is scheduled to spend three days in China and will open the Great Festival of Creativity at Shanghai's Long Museum on March 2.

The campaign is to "give over 500 of Britain's most innovative businesses the opportunity to reach potential Chinese partners and demonstrate how British creativity can help businesses innovate and grow," according to a statement from William's office. The Prince is the first senior royal to visit China since the Queen's visit in 1986 together with Prince Philip.

The upcoming trip is going to be on the spotlight thanks to Prince Charles "uneasy relationship" with China due to his support to the Dalai Lama. The high profile tour is allegedly viewed as an attempt to develop the diplomatic relations between the two countries after the June visit of the Chinese Prime Minister Li Keqiang in London.

Meanwhile, the Prince William and Kate Middleton are set to visit the U.S for three days in December before the Duchess is too weak to travel because of her second pregnancy. Reporters covering the tour are asked to wear smart attire for men, which includes wearing a jacket and tie, and the women are asked to wear a trouser or skirt suit.
