Prince William, Kate Middleton to visit Canada this summer?

Prince William and his bride-to-be Kate Middleton are expected to visit Canada this summer.

According to Canadian officials, the chances are 'very high' the future heir to the throne and his partner will visit the country in several months.

However, they cautioned decisions are not finalized.

"Discussion are underway, in the planning phases, for a summer visit," the Globe and Mail quoted an official as saying.

They said the trip could see the couple in Canada by July 1, Canada Day, although negotiations are still ongoing.

Earlier this week, British tabloids reported that the couple will visit Canada in July and spend two weeks there, starting with a visit to the East Coast and ending in British Columbia.

It would be the couple's first trip abroad after their April 29 wedding.
