Royal Tour of Canada - Day 3

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge spent today in Bella Bella. It was planned to be an action packed day with a ride in a float plane to see the views of Great Bear Rainforest. However, due to bad weather plans had to be cancelled so the day could be spent inside due to the bad weather.

At the reception tonight Prince William took part in the Black Rod ceremony. The Black Rod has three rings which presents the province, Canada and their links to the UK. Tonight Prince William added a fourth ring which symbolises the First Nations in the Province.

This reception will be the most formal engagement of the tour and so we expect this to be the Duchess's most glamorous outfit of the tour and it definitely didn't disappoint!
