Royal expert Russell Myers writes for Mirror: "The announcement of Prince William’s historic upcoming visit to Saudi Arabia should come as no surprise.

"As our government continues to struggle with the hangover from Brexit, war raging in Europe and the ever increasing threat from harmful tariffs from the United States, Britain’s need to forge new alliances and protect its own interests is ever more evident.

The expert continues: "William has a deep interest in the Middle East, but such excursions unveil a deeper mission. In recent years, the Prince of Wales has traveled to Israel, Palestine, Oman, UAE and Kuwait. His presence as a leading member of the royal family undersigned by the fact that one day, he will be king.

He further noted: "I have witnessed William on several occasions enact this very role. Palace aides often like to raise the notion of William as a “global statesman”, but by the very nature of his role as a prince and future monarch, this is something he has done all his life."

"Indeed, he has grown into an ever more important role as his position - and maturity - has increased. His awareness of global issues is key to his understanding of his role in the monarchy and the world around us," he said.
