Prince William, 37, and Kate are on hand to launch the charity, which will provide an emergency response to disasters in the UK.
It has been set up in the wake of terror attacks and the Grenfell Tower disaster that has devastated Britain in recent years.
The royal couple will meet victims of disasters, including Grenfell and the Westminster Bridge attack, and make a short speech marking the official inauguration of the charity.
The Duchess of Sussex has also been involved with projects to help the victims of Grenfell, including a cookbook which she launched after a visit to a kitchen in North Kensington, West London.
