William and Kate have completed their seven-day tour of India and Bhutan that was filled with engagements that included a stay at the Taj Palace Hotel in Mumbai, playing a round of cricket, meetoing with representatives of various charities, attendeding a Bollywood dinner reception, going on safari, visiting a Buddhist temple, and posing in front of the Taj Mahal.
On April 11, the royal couple flew into New Delhi, where they laid a wreath of marigolds at India Gate, a memorial to the 70,000 Indian soldiers who died while fighting for the British Army during World War I. "Never forgetting those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for India," read a note on the wreath signed William and Catherine.
After the ceremony, the Duke and Duchess made their way to Gandhi Smriti, a museum where Mahatma Gandhi spent the final years of his life. They received a private tour, where they saw Gandhi’s bedroom and retraced India’s founding father’s final footsteps.
Will and Kate then watched a children's choir performance, and the Prince later tried his hand at Indian cooking. The pair topped off their day by attending an early birthday party held in honor of the Queen, who turns 90 on April 21. (Obviously, they cut the large cake with a sword.)
Over the past couple of days the duo had a private meeting with NGOs working in Delhi before they headed to the Kaziranga National Park in the state of Assam to watch a local fireside festival and go on safari. They then headed to Bhutan where they were greeted by King of Bhutan Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck and his wife Jetsun Pema.
On the couple's last day, they visited the famous Taj Mahal and sat on the same bench that Diana famously sat on in 1992, when she was visiting the monument by herself without Prince Charles.
Of course, folks have become obsessed with Kate’s various travel looks, which included a red Alexander McQueen dress, a patterned midi dress by Mumbai designer Anita Dongre, a cobalt blue Jenny Packham gown, a cream knee-length dress by Emilia Wickstead, a black and white Temperley London gown, a Glamorous Red Navy Boarder Print Lace Up Maxi, a green dress by Temperley London, a printed Anna Sui dress, a dotted RM Williams button-up, brown biker pants by Zara, a Topshop Embroidered Print Midi Dress, and a blue and white Naeem Khan dress.
Onward, for photos of their whirlwind trip.
