The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge touched down in California today for a whirlwind tour of the golden state.

The newly-weds have a busy schedule ahead of them in the US, which will take them from the glitz and glamour of Hollywood to the poverty of Skid Row.

They are likely to be met with enthusiastic crowds wherever they go.
Kate, who stepped out clutching a red, white and blue bouquet, wore a lavender dress from London-based designer Roksanda.
The Prince wore a more formal blue suit.

There was near hysterical screaming outside Los Angeles's historic Beverly Hilton Hotel as the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived for a new media summit straight from LAX.
Wearing a lavender Peridot dress by Serbian-born designer Roksanda Illinic, Kate remained unfazed by the media frenzy surrounding her Stateside arrival with William.
The couple were met by Neil Stiles, president of the entertainment magazine group Variety who jointly sponsored the Venture Capital New Media Summit with the UK Trade and Investment to promote British technological business interests in America.
After meeting delegates from the British and American technology sectors, William and Kate then took to the stage to become a part of the summit.
