Cue baby #2 speculation for William & Kate, but certainly she isn't pregnant. Wine tasting in Queenstown this afternoon #RoyalVisitNZ

It's an Emelia Wickstead coat for the Duchess today - so NZ designer of sorts (even though she is based in London) #royaltour #kate

And we have a Jane Taylor hat and, again, the Queen's diamond fern brooch.... #kate #royaltour

Not quite sure what the guy in the background is, not even sure I'd like to know, but he sure is novel. :p

I agree Muhler and thanks for posting this picture! Apparently there was a 'Mad Hatters Tea Party' at the hospice so that the teacup is evidence for me that this is probably an actor! Thank you also to all for posting these wonderful tidbits of NZ culture! Who knew about huhu grubs and hongi lines!:flowers:
 
Funny you [Muhler] don't know Alice in Wonderland, I thought it was as well known as the stories of Hans Christian Anderson. It is a bit scary as most fairy tales seem to be.

The Duchess of Cambridge will be changing out of her formal church outfit when she arrives for the Rippa Rugby tournament in Dunedin today

Rebecca English ‏@RE_DailyMail 11m
William and Kate will take 15 mins to change and freshen up after they arrive at the Forsyth Barr stadium... #royaltour

Richard Palmer ‏@RoyalReporter 53m
Greeted by the sound of bagpipes in Dunedin, a little slice of Scotland in New Zealand, William said: "It's like being in Edinburgh."

Crowds approaching 3500 outside St Paul's Cathedral - but fears walkabout may be canned due to late running schedule #drama #RoyalVisitNZ

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are on the pitch at the stadium in Dunedin, where they'll coach rival teams of young tag rugby players.

The crowd have given the royal couple a rapturous reception. Kate's in a white top now; William in open neck shirt, jumper and chinos.

Richard Palmer ‏@RoyalReporter 1m
William and Kate are giving their respective team talks. I'd wager the Duke was telling his team to wipe the floor with the Duchess's side.

Richard Palmer ‏@RoyalReporter 1m
William kicks off the final.

William's team wins 30-20.

Richard Palmer ‏@RoyalReporter 50s
Not quite a fist pump but a victory celebration from William and a bit of banter between him and the missus.

And my heart has melted for a hundredth time! Kate hugging that little girl was absolutely precious, and in the picture with her rugby team, it's hard to tell who is having more fun, her or the kids. This tour is a joy to follow. This couple is making so many people smile.

My very thoughts!!! Children are so perceptive...the little girl at Rainbow Place said that Catherine had "smiley eyes"...so sweet!
 
Dman Thank you for Pictures - Day 6.
I especially like the photograph of Catherine and William looking tenderly at each other.

What's in a word? Baby speculation may be misplaced-
Lady who knitted shawl for Prince George says William actually said "you may need to make another one sometime", not "soon" #royalvisitnz

They seemed to enjoy that. The royal party burst into applause after their Shotover Jet ride. "Thank you so much," said Kate. #royalvisitNZ

What's next on the royal visit:
"Kate and William will spend their first night away from baby Prince George tonight. They'll be reunited with George tomorrow afternoon after they spend time in Christchurch. William first visited the city not long after the devastating earthquake in 2011. The couple will on Monday pay their respects, with a visit to the CTV memorial park. They'll also attend a Cricket World Cup event, open a visitors centre in the Botanical Gardens, and visit the Air Force Museum at Wigram."
