Britain’s Prince William and his wife Kate visit India



LONDON: -- Britain’s Duke and Duchess of Cambridge played a charity cricket match with underprivileged children in Mumbai on Sunday, the first day of a week-long tour of India that will include a trip to the isolated Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan.

Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton flew into India’s financial capital and met children from Magic Bus, Childline and Doorstep – three non-governmental organisations that work with children.

They took an open-top bus tour and played a cricket match with a team from a local cricket academy and kids backed by the three charities.

The royal couple, travelling without children George and Charlotte, were due to attend a Bollywood-inspired charity gala on Sunday night amid speculation that Kate may appear in a sari from a top Indian fashion designer.

William and Kate’s tour takes in New Delhi, where they will lunch with Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a wildlife park in Assam famed for its one-horned rhinos, and Bhutan.

Their tour ends back in India next Saturday at the Taj Mahal, revisiting the scene of a solo – and much photographed – visit in 1992 by William’s mother, the late Princess Diana, to the monument to love.

Wow

On leave AGAIN from the air ambulance service ?

Disgusting news video of them visiting a slum and peering into the shacks these poor, unfortunate people call home.

It's disgraceful that slum residents are put on display for people who will never have to worry about scraping an existence. Sure some nice words of concern might be said then onto the next freebie piss up.

Maybe India should scrap its space programme in favour of improving the quality of life of its impoverished citizens,just a thought.

Yup. Could've bought/provided a lot of toilets with that space program budget.

Should be an interesting lunch in New Dehli: Do wildlife parks sit on chairs? I also imagine all of Bhutan's citzens being surprised to wake up and find their country's gone away for the day
