Britain's Prince William and his wife Catherine will begin a nine-day trip as part of a tour marking the Queen's Diamond Jubilee in Singapore from Sept 11 to 13, St James's Palace has confirmed.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will move on to Malaysia where they will visit the capital Kuala Lumpur and Borneo's Sabah state from Sept 13 to 15.

The trip is designed to mark the 60-year reign of William's grandmother Queen Elizabeth II.

They will then travel to the Pacific Island of Solomon, a former British protectorate north-east of Australia, between Sept 16 to 18 before a final stop in the tiny nation of Tuvalu from Sept 18 to 19.

Queen Elizabeth is head of state in the Solomons and Tuvalu, both of which are members of the Commonwealth.

"William's been practising his dance moves," the Duchess joked as the couple met Solomon Islands' governor general Sir Frank Kabui at a reception in June.

"We're extremely excited. Both of us have never been anywhere near there," Prince William said during the event at London's historic Guildhall.

A spokesman at St James's Palace said further details about the tour would be released towards the end of August.
