Three days into their majestic tour of India, Catherine and William have fallen in love with the colourful nation, but one boy has captured the royals’ heart.

The duo escaped the hustle and bustle of city life and headed to the Kaziranga National Park.

In the state of Assam, Kate and Wills were greeted with a warm reception, and they relaxed in front of a fire and were treated to a peek into rural life through dance and musical performances.

At the vibrant event, the parents to George and Charlotte were particularly taken by the dancing of an adorable three-year-old boy.

“You were very energetic,” William told the youngster, before adding: “He knows his dancing very well.”

Upon meeting the little lad, Catherine was thoroughly amused, laughing out loud when he cheekily stamped on her foot.

Watching on, was British deputy high commission, Ranjinee Bhukan, who noted the little boy could have reminded the parents of their own cheeky son, Prince George.

Catherine was besotted with the little boy.

The young lad stepped on the royal’s foot, which had her in a fit of laughter. No doubt she was reminded of her own cheeky monkey, Prince George.

“They were so happy to see him,” Ranjinee quipped. “They were really watching him. I’m sure they were remembering their little one.”

Adding, “They are a lovely couple. I thought I would be overwhelmed and I might get tongue-tied but when I saw them they were so friendly and so normal.”

Despite their down-to-earth persona, they are still royal and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge come with an impressive entourage.

When they arrived at Tezpur Airport in Assam on Tuesday, the public were given a rare glimpse into the their extensive team.

The 34-year-old’s PA and stylist Natasha Archer was snapped carrying armfuls of clothes and make-up. She was appointed her stylist shortly after the royal announced her second pregnancy.

The women behind the magic that is Kate: Sophie Agnew (L) and Natasha Archer (R) were pictured leaving the plane.

Catherine’s longtime hairdresser Amanda Cook Tucker is also on the royal tour.

Walking next to her was Sophie Agnew, assistant to the Duchess’s Private Secretary, who was also carrying a large bag and a suit carrier.

The mum-of-two’s hairdresser Amanda Cook Tucker, the women behind the beloved Princess’ trademark Chelsea blow-dry, is also on the royal tour to help keep Kate’s mane in place.

Amanda has been a part of Catherine’s team for some time, joining the royal on previous tours and she even visited the hospital shortly after Prince George was born in 2013.
