Prince William will make a 'Skype' video web call to two homeless Scottish people in the Netherlands when he and the Duchess of Cambridge visit Glasgow later.

William will chat on-line to Dylan Howie and Lyn Buchan who are taking part in an exchange programme run by the Glasgow-based project for rough sleepers.

"It's just amazing that I will get a chance to speak to the Duke of Cambridge. It's brilliant, I'm very excited," said Mr Howie, who first stayed at the Stopover project in 2011 when he was just 16.

"The past year has been really tough for me - but since coming to Quarriers' Stopover my life has been turned around."

The homeless pair from Glasgow are on a work experience placement in the Dutch town of Papendrecht as part of the charity's initiative run with Dutch partner Werkcenter.

The Duke has long had a keen interest in tackling homelessness and is patron of Centrepoint, a charity that has been providing support and care for rough sleepers for decades.

The two-day trip by William and Kate, who is now nearly six months pregnant, will see also see them visit Dumfries House, where they will team up with Prince Charles, and BAE systems in Barrow-in-Furness.

Today in Glasgow the couple will also tour Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome to see cyclists training, as well as watching netball, athletics and badminton demonstrations.

At the Donald Dewar Leisure Centre in Drumchapel the couple will launch a new Scottish pilot project for their foundation, which aims to inspire and train the next generation of young sports coaches.

When in Scotland William and Kate are known as the Earl and Countess of Strathearn, titles given to them by the Queen to mark their marriage.

North of the border Prince Charles is also known under a different title: the Duke of Rothesay.
