The couple are due to undertake several engagements while in Belfast, including a visit to Hillsborough Castle, where they will meet with Gawn William Rowan Hamilton, Lord-Lieutenant of County Down, according to a Buckingham Palace press release sent to Insider.
They will then undertake a walkabout at the castle and view floral tributes for Queen Elizabeth, who died at Balmoral Castle on Thursday at the age of 96.
The king is due to have a private meeting with Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Chris Heaton-Harris, before departing for St Anne's Cathedral in the afternoon.
