It was the most expensive official royal tour of 2021-22.

Worth every penny representing our country as they do…

They handled controversy well and with dignity....they knew they were going to have to confront the situation and got on with the job...

Unlike Meghan and Harrys trip to S.Africa...a mission to highlight the treatment, rape and corruption of young women only for them to make it all about them... "nobody asked me if I was OK..."

... and that's the massive difference between Kate/Wills and Meghan/Harry and why the former are greatly admired and the latter are very much not.

Recollections may vary

And this thread isn't about Harry and Meghan? Cute they are the standard you hold William and Kate to though
