The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have delighted the 10,000-strong crowd waiting for them in South Bank Queensland today.
Some royal fans lined up from as early as dawn, waiting for hours in 29 degree heat, to catch a glimpse of the royal pair on the fourth day of their Australian tour.
“I gave them a toy kangaroo and a joey,” 16-year-old Wenona Brant-Church told Woman’s Day.
“Kate asked, ‘Is this for George?’ and I said it was for all of them. She was very grateful.”
The Duchess had lots of help collecting gifts from the crowd, with local girl guides and boy scouts making more than 20 trips back and forth with gifts from the crowd including teddy bears and Australian animal soft toys.
It took the royal couple more than 20 minutes to make their way down the 150-metre public walk, with Catherine spending a lot of time chatting to people in the crowd, particularly children.
