The Prince and Princess of Wales' "days of lengthy tours are over" as King Charles changes the monarchy under his reign, a royal source has claimed.
Kate and William are expected to manage their busy diaries of royal engagements and trips while continuing their hard work in supporting the King.
However, the couple are likely to prioritise time with their children over going on lengthy world-wide royal trips.
According to royal expert Jennie Bond, while Charles and Queen Camilla are set to visit the US, Australia, New Zealand, Pakistan and Bangladesh, William and Kate are expected to respect their children's school's schedules.

"William and Catherine are really the stars of the Royal Family these days. They have youth on their side and a good dusting of glamour surrounds them," she told OK!
"They are also extremely popular both here and abroad. So there is no doubt that the foreign office will be calling on them to carry out some high-profile royal tours.
"But I think the days of lengthy tours, leaving the children to be looked after by nannies, are over. Largely, I think the school holidays will be respected, and future tours will be short and extremely busy."
The King is planning to go on the largest ever-series of official royal functions throughout the UK, the Commonwealth and other nations across the world to "extend a hand of friendship and support" from the British monarchy.
A royal source told The Mirror that he was eager to "hit the ground running in these crucial first few months and years of his reign".
They added: "He certainly wants to carry on the long-held mantra from his late mother of being seen to be believed, and is very keen to get out and meet as many people as possible."
Charles' decision to go ahead with multiple major Commonwealth visits comes as republicanism is increasing, including inside the likes of Saint Nevis and Kitts.
A source said that the King is "acutely aware" of the dangers this poses on the monarchy, with many Commonwealth countries keen to see how well Barbados operates after leaving the realm.

It is alleged that Charles could try and fit in as many trips as his late mother Queen Elizabeth II managed to during the 1970s.
Her Majesty made 52 Commonwealth visits during that period, as well as 21 trips to other nations to celebrate her Silver Jubilee.
Prior to his Coronation last month, Charles undertook his first royal visit as King in Germany.
