The royal couple's first stop was bustling Singapore, where they visited the stunning 153-year-old Botanic Gardens and saw an orchid named after Prince William's late mother, Princess Diana. The 183-acre gardens are open from 5am to midnight and admission is free - apart from to the orchid garden, which costs £2.50 for adults, and is free for children.

This is too bad for black race, white people call you monkeys and slave yet you behave like that, what are those girls  doing with Kate a fellow woman of your type. How many time have you seen other European woman or white race do that to Kate or Williams. Royal family is for a particular people not for the whole world if you doubt me send your king or your queen of your own country to Britain and call British woman to carry her up as you women has just done.

i am sure it wasnt Kates idea, but local organizers who possibly treat this way their own royalties, or village chifs. If she refused being treated this way she would undermind their way of life.

I think Will and Kate should send a pap to the editors houses and take pic's of there children and families and print them, put them on the net and see how they like it, also the bloke who took the pic's should be done for being a peeping tom.
