The insider did not explain why the royals are beefing up their schedules, but their engagements will include charity work for seriously ill children. Also, Prince William and Kate have not yet finalized their summer schedules, but Will is headed to the wedding of Guy Pelly in Memphis this weekend.
For Harry's part, the 29-year-old royal is headed to Chile, Brazil, Estonia and Italy this summer. He is also heading the Invictus Games, a Paralympic-style event for servicemen and women in London this Fall.
Meanwhile, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are celebrating their third wedding anniversary on Tuesday, April 29. Millions of people around the world watched as Kate walked down the aisle at Westminster Abbey in an Alexander McQueen gown three years ago.
While their wedding was a public event, Will and Kate are celebrating their third anniversary quietly at home. Several reports indicated that Will presented Kate with an anniversary gift of a $5,000-plus Ballon Bleu de Carter watch featuring a sapphire cabochon in the winding mechanism to match her engagement ring. The sapphire ring first belonged to Will's late mother, Princess Diana, who also wore a Cartier watch.
