Newylweds Prince William and Kate Middleton (now Duchess Catherine) are coming to see the Yanks this summer!

The couple will visit California from July 8-10, the royal palace has confirmed.

William, 28, has visited the U.S. privately, but never in an official capacity. Kate, 29, has never been to the States.

Rumor has it the two will be hosted by former governor Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Maybe they'll like the U.S. so much that they'll be back ...

See where else the couple are headed -- and what could keep them apart for two-and-a-half months, after the jump!

For the week prior to their visit to the U.S., Will and Kate will head to Canada, where the country is issuing a set of stamps in their honor.

The newlyweds could be apart for months next year if the Royal Air Force posts Will in the Falkland Islands.

Will is commissioned in all three British Armed Services. His senior honorary appointment is Royal Colonel of the Irish Guards.

On his wedding day, he wore his military uniform. It featured a cap embellished with the Irish Guard insignia, a sash worn in the presence of a member of the Royal family and another sash featuring the Wings of the Royal Air Force and the Garter Star, given to the highest order of knighthood in Great Britain.
