HRH will arrive at the TT Grandstand in Douglas and watch the final stages of TT Supersport Race 2 before attending the Government House tent reception. 

In the build-up to the royal visit, the Joey Dunlop foundation wrote Prince William’s trip is a ‘fantastic honour’ for the Braddan Bridge scheme.
