Details of their itinerary have yet to be announced.

It will be William's first official trip to the United States, and Middleton's first-ever visit to the country.

Their visit will follow their royal tour of Canada, a trip that will take them to Alberta, Quebec, Prince Edward Island, the Northwest Territories and the National Capital Region.

The royal couple - now known as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge - married last week at Westminster Abbey in a ceremony seen around the world.

After a long weekend in private, they have returned to the remote island of Anglesey in Wales, where William is based as a Royal Air Force search-and-rescue helicopter pilot, putting off a honeymoon for now.
