Touch down in Kelowna. Kate is in a green Dolce & Gabanna dress.

In the first three days of the family's visit, Prince William and Princess Kate have been handed everything from books to stuffed animals for their kids.
After visiting with some first responders in Vancouver, the royal parents were given two tiny orange customized life-saving vests.
Prince William didn't read briefing papers on Diana link to charity | Royal | News | Daily Express
once again William jokes about being unprepared ... in India he admitted at a high profile reception meeting the superstar of the genre that he had never seen a Bollywood movie, this time he didn't read his briefing notes finding out about the connection to his mother.
some may find it funny but I find it poor preparation and taste with regard to those who make an effort for the event and to meet William.
Read more: Gorgeous in green! Kate delights in £2,000 Dolce & Gabbana dress as she and William arrive in rural Canadian town that Charles and Diana visited 30 years ago | Daily Mail OnlineThe Duchess of Cambridge dazzled in a green Dolce & Gabbana dress as she and Prince William arrived in the western Canadian city of Kelowna on the fourth day of their royal tour.
The royal couple left Prince George, three, and 16-month-old Princess Charlotte in Victoria with their nanny to fly to the city in the beautiful Okanagan Valley.
William and Kate, both 34, are the first royals to visit the city since Prince Charles and Princess Diana 30 years ago.
The couple will visit a university campus before tasting local delicacies at a special food fair. Later they will fly to Whitehorse in the Yukon, where they will stay the night.
Do you seriously believe, even for an instant, that the Queen reads and recalls every single word of every single briefing document she receives? Really? Or does she, like most people, probably read most of it and the most important bits of it to get a general gist and then ask relevant questions to understand who she's meeting and why?
Honestly, keep scraping the barrel with the criticisms. When William's on a visit and meeting the people there, he tries to make an actual connection. He makes real conversation with the public, he shakes their hands, he gives them hugs when asked, he makes fun of himself and his shortcomings and he participates. Something the Queen generally doesn't do and has never done, much as I love her.
Several on Twitter think their Highnesses will be staying here tonight. https://www.coasthotels.com/hotels/...emium-jacuzzi-king-with-fireplace-nonsmoking/
At the very least, it is sold out. Whitehorse seems to have very functional hotel accommodations, many with kitchenettes - just like at the Ritz
Just trolling the Hotels available I have to think security is trumping other amenities.
I do hope they get out and look at the Aurora Borealis tonight. Even when it's no great display, it is beautiful.
Oh, Mission Hill must be one of the most spectacular wineries in the world. It can certainly compete with the very best wine farms in the Western Cape region of South Africa!
wow - i didn't even know what geoduck was! these forums are so enlightening, i get to know about all these things. it certainly looks interesting. i am in general not a big clam fan so i don't think it would be my kind of thing but i am most curious to try it. indeed, well done to WK for trying it out with all the press ready to snap a picture at their reaction!
on a side note about the trip: did anyone else notice that their staff's presence was very prominent in the india/bhutan tour, but we have not seen them in this one at all yet. i remember in the last one we kept seeing kate's PAs out of the planes, carrying clothes and bags or even joining them for a trek in the mountains. this time, it is no longer the case. i wonder if they got told off for stealing the show / distracting the press?

It appears that William has picked up the trick from his father, the Prince of Wales.
Charles tends to ignore briefing papers that don't interest him – ie, most of them – often leaving him underprepared.
When he took the Queen's place at the Commonwealth Summit for the first time, in Sri Lanka in 2013, some leaders were shocked at his ignorance on Commonwealth matters compared with his mother's encyclopaedic memory.
Read more: Kate Middleton and Prince William have an early start in Canadian town of Whitehorse | Daily Mail OnlineAfter a night in a rural three-star inn without their children, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were out and about early today soaking up the atmosphere in the gold rush town of Whitehorse.
Mid-way through their eight-day tour of Canada, William and Kate have flown to the northern province of Yukon for two days of engagements, taking in the wild beauty of the region.
Their first stop today was the MacBride Museum, for a lesson in Yukon's history, where Kate was wearing a brilliant pillar box red coat, unusual block heeled shoes with her hair swept back in a severe chignon.
