Kate Middleton, Prince William, Prince George Arrive in New Zealand: Picture
Let the Royal Tour begin! Kate Middleton, Prince William, and their adorable son Prince George
touched down in New Zealand on April 7 and gave the world the first
look at the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and their 8-month-old boy.
Middleton, 32, wore a red
Catherine Walker coat and Gina Foster hat. She is wearing a silver fern
diamond and platinum broach loaned by Queen Elizabeth. The Queen first
wore the broach during
her Commonwealth Tour in 1954.
Her husband dressed in a navy suit with a red tie, and the third in line to the throne sported a cream sweater and white pants.
They flew first class on Qantas
Airways, briefly stopping in Dubai before landing at Sydney
International Airport. In Sydney, a boisterous George was seen wriggling
and kicking as Middleton carried her son through the terminal to their
New Zealand military airfare plane for a three hour flight to
Wellington. Later today there will be a reception at the Government
House in Wellington, which will be the royal family's New Zealand base
as they travel around the country.
The family will spend the next
three weeks in New Zealand and Australia on an official tour with plenty
of meet and greets and photo ops.
"The Duchess has never visited
either country, so this is a chance for her to meet the people of New
Zealand and Australia for the first time," William's private secretary
Miguel Head told the press in early March. "So, for the couple, this
visit represents a wonderful opportunity on the one hand for
The Duke to
deepen his personal relationship with, and admiration for, New Zealand
and Australia; and on the other, for the Duchess to experience some of
the extraordinary warmth and hospitality for which the people of both
countries are renowned the world over."
