Today's schedule goes like this

• The couple takes a helicopter to Sabah’s Danum Valley where they will have a chance to meet Royal Society scientists and volunteers working in the rainforest, they will traverse parts of the jungle themselves.
• Kate and William then head to a private lodge for lunch, their official engagements for the day completed.

I agree with you. However, I give them both credit for carrying on, and not making a fuss (at least not one that we can all witness). They're being supportive of one another, and that's what's important. Hopefully those that decided to take the pictures and then sell/publish them will get their punishment, and if not, then Karma will get them twice as badly.

@ Daria- Same thoughts( and tears) here my friend!

I have nothing to add, because you've expressed it all perfectly.

You are right Daria. At least they do have eachother to talk to and we know that William is very protective of her. Its good to know they will defend eachother and they can count on eachother for moral support. Im sure William is probably fuming over this. In the end he will be her comfort and her strength.

Paul Harrison ‏@SkyNewsRoyal The next stage of #RoyalTour begins - flight via Brisbane to Solomon Islands. Feels like mood of tour has changed with photos of #Kate

Well the couple has now finished royal duties for the day and are spending some much needed quiet time together until tomorrow. And that means I'm off to bed night all. I'll see everyone tomorrow.

I hope 20 years from now W and C look at these photos and remember how beautiful it was in the Rainforest.

I love the rainforest pics..it's so beautiful there.

[Daria_S]

Ghost_Night, as usual, wonderful photos and updates! The rainforest pictures were absolutely gorgeous.

I have a couple of articles about the rainforest excursion. Some of the quips from Duke and Duchess cracked me up. It's nice to see that they're trying to be as upbeat as possible.

It would look like they had a little 'Defying Gravity' moment (if anyone's familiar with the musical 'Wicked', they'll know that during the song 'Defying Gravity' the character that's singing is lifted up by cables).
