According to Hello!, they made a decision with regards to their overseas tour.

Although it is typical for senior members of the royal family to travel alongside a large entourage during official duties abroad, this time they have their doctor with them.

The couple have also, for the first time, brought with them a tour doctor.

As well as their private secretaries, communications secretary, four members of the communication team, two assistant private secretaries, two programme coordinators, a PA, and a hairdresser, their doctor is also travelling with them.

Royal correspondent Rebecca English tweeted earlier this week: “The couple have also, for the first time, brought with them a tour doctor. He’s a friend of William’s from his days with East Anglia Air Ambulance.”
