Britain’s Duke and Duchess of Cambridge sat down to a musical lunch on Tuesday with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, as they continued a first tour of India that has featured a cricket game with slum kids and a glittering Bollywood gala.

Perhaps they are missing their own children but whatever the reason the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were entranced by the energetic dancing of a three-year-old boy at a fireside festival – and laughed heartily when he cheekily attempted to stamp on their feet.
During their stay in the park, the royal couple will be presented with a cultural programme, including Bihu and Jhumur dances, by the residents of two local villages. Kate, dressed in a cream wool crepe outfit, smiled and waved at crowds of onlookers who had gathered outside the cafe where the meeting was held.
The royal couple is in India for a weeklong tour.
Prince William and Kate wielded a sword at the British High Commissioner’s residence on Monday night to cut a cake to mark the forthcoming 90th birthday of Queen Elizabeth.
They will also take a one-day trip to neighbouring Bhutan at the invitation of the Himalayan kingdom’s King Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuck and Queen Jetsun Pema. They’ve already visited Mumbai, and travelled later Tuesday to a wildlife park in the northeastern state of Assam that is home to various endangered animals.
