Prince William has extended a personal invitation to Heart Breakfast presenters Amanda Holden and Jamie Theakston to accompany him to the Isles of Scilly this Friday.
The Prince of Wales will travel to the archipelago off Cornwall's coast to inaugurate a new wing at St Mary's Hospital.
In his invitation, the Prince said: "Hi Jamie and Amanda, I'm heading down to the Isles of Scilly, off the coast of Cornwall, on Friday, to see some of the terrific work going on there to support the local community.
"I'm also opening the new wing of the hospital in St Mary's, which will be a fantastic moment.

"Amanda, I know how fond you are of Cornwall, and the Isles of Scilly, so, it would be really lovely, if you could both come along."
The healthcare facility represents a community-driven initiative backed by the Duchy of Cornwall, designed to expand medical capacity across the island group.
The redevelopment integrates NHS services with social care provision, creating what organisers describe as a more resilient and sustainable healthcare system for residents of this remote community.
A key aim of the project is enabling islanders to receive treatment closer to home rather than making journeys to the mainland.
The Prince of Wales cited Amanda Holden's love on Cornwall in his invite.

This approach allows patients to remain near their support networks of friends and family while accessing care, forming part of broader efforts to strengthen long-term community resilience throughout the Isles of Scilly.
Friday's programme will mark a broadcasting milestone, with Heart becoming the first national radio station to transmit live from the Isles of Scilly.
The Prince of Wales will appear on air during the show to discuss the Duchy-backed healthcare project and other community initiatives across the islands.
