The Duke of Cambridge will visit the Palestinian Territories as part of a wider tour of the Middle East, which includes Israel and Jordan, in the summer.
William, 35, third in line to the British throne, will travel without his wife and children, with further details of the visit to be unveiled at a later stage.
"The visit is at the request of Her Majesty's Government and has been welcomed by the Israeli, Jordanian and Palestinian authorities.
Further details will be announced in due course," Kensington Palace said in a statement.
The visit, seen as a significant diplomatic move, is designed to promote cultural and diplomatic ties with the region, with William expected to spend some time with senior politicians and visit local charities.
