Britain's Prince William and Kate greet locals in Sweden, tour Nobel museum

Britain's Prince William and his wife Kate, visited the Nobel Museum in Stockholm on Tuesday (January 30), on the first day of a four-day visit to Sweden and Norway.

Before visiting the museum, located in the Old Town just a stone's throw away from the Royal Palace, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, along with Crown Princess Victoria, the heir to the Swedish throne, and her husband Prince Daniel Westling greeted supporters who had gathered outside.

The museum houses exhibits about the Nobel prizes that are awarded in Stockholm every year.

As well as meetings with the royal families of Sweden and Norway and political leaders in the Nordic countries, the royal couple's agenda also includes briefings about the military forces in the region. William - second-in-line to the throne - served in Britain's armed forces from 2006 until 2013, and worked as a search and rescue helicopter pilot before he started last year to focus full-time on his royal duties.

Also on the agenda is a visit to the Karolinska Institute where they will be learning about how Sweden is tackling mental health issues among young people. Kate, William and his brother Harry have made campaigning about mental health a priority, with the brothers speaking about how the death of their mother Diana, Princess of Wales, in a 1997 car crash had left them with deep emotional scars.
