The Duchess of Cambridge will meet jobless teenagers when she is shown a scheme to get them into work during her visit to Grimsby today.

Kate will talk to people involved in the Prince's Trust scheme in the Lincolnshire town - her first visit to a programme run by the trust, which offers support to young people.

She will also open the nearby Havelock Academy which serves over 1,000 pupils aged between 11 and 18 from an area that has some of the most deprived wards in the country and which moved into a new £18 million building in 2011.

The Duchess, who is due to give birth in July, is also due to speak to trawlermen when she is given a tour of the National Fishing Heritage Centre in the town.

She will learn about life as a Grimsby trawlerman in the 1950s and discuss the environmental sustainability of fishing in the North Sea.
