Fans welcome British royals to Dunedin
- 10 years ago
The British Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton headed to the city of Dunedin on South Island on the seventh day of their tour of New Zealand.
Hundreds of supporters greeted the couple at the airport. Some had travelled across New Zealand, camping out overnight for just a glimpse of the royals.
And Kate couldn't resist showing off her new skills of the traditional Maori greeting -- a nose rub.
The couple dressed up for a service at the city's Cathedral to mark Palm Sunday to the delight of the waiting crowds.

Kate brightened up the grey day in a dress by New Zealand designer Emilia Wickstead teamed with a Jane Taylor hat.
