Princess Kate to open $66m Marlborough College in Nusajaya

Princess Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge, is expected to open the Marlborough College in Nusajaya during a visit to the state with her husband, Prince William.

Still famously known by her maiden name Kate Middleton, she and William will visit Johor in September as part of their tour to several countries in conjunction with the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee celebrations.

'Arrangements are being made with the British High Commission to bring the royal couple here,' said Iskandar Regional Development Authority (Irda) chief executive officer Ismail Ibrahim at the European Union (EU)-Johor Day on Thursday.

He added that it would be a historic moment for the college to be opened by Catherine, who is herself a former student from the main campus in the United Kindgom (UK) and the future Queen of England.

The RM160 million (S$66 million) college in Nusajaya is currently under construction and is UK's Marlborough College's first overseas campus since it was founded in 1843.

It is located near Iskandar Malaysia's EduCity, an educational hub of primary, secondary and tertiary institutions from around the world.
