Express.co.uk spoke to Anne Chertoff, Chief Operating Officer of Beaumont Etiquette which runs a Duchess-themed etiquette course.
Chertoff shared her insight into Prince William and Kate's travels - can they do what they like when out of the public eye?
While the royal pair are obviously afforded a level of privacy on these trips, the reality, said the etiquette expert, is that they actually have very little time to themselves.
In short, there is not much opportunity to break away from the strict schedule.
