Royals pay tribute to Mumbai terror victims during tour of India

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have heard first-hand about the horrors of the Mumbai terror attacks, as Kate wowed India with an outfit that embraced both Britain and Asia.

William and Kate began their tour of India by having garlands placed around their necks as they arrived at Mumbai’s Taj Mahal Palace hotel — where 31 staff and guests were killed in the 2008 assault.

Dubbed “WillKat” by the Indian media, William wore a smart suit while the Duchess looked stunning in a red, paisley-themed outfit by Alexander McQueen that blended Indian colour with British couture. It had a skirt split at the front over a black underskirt — a feature borrowed heavily from Asian tradition.
