During the visit, Captain Chandi will make a speech to students about her expedition and will be joined  by the princess in presenting an award to Simrat Soggi, one of the winners of Preet’s national school logo competition.

Kate, who was patron of Captain Chandi’s expedition, will also be joining students as they take part in some activities which bring to life the expedition and how Preet prepared for it, including some examples of how she trained.

Ahead of the visit, Kensington Palace said: “The Princess has long been an advocate of the huge impact the outdoors can have on our wellbeing and the life skills it nurtures, such as confidence and resilience. She is committed to promoting this to young people, including through her work with organisations such as the Scouts, of which she is joint President.”
