Mumbai, Apr 10: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and his wife Kate Middleton, have landed in Mumbai for their maiden trip to the country. The royal couple are on a week-long trip to India and Bhutan.
The royal couple’s Mumbai visit is part of a four-day India tour that includes a visit to the Taj Mahal in Agra, and Assam’s Kaziranga National Park.
Their tour includes a special dinner-cum-charity gala with the country's rich and the famous in Mumbai. The charity gala is being hosted in their honour on Sunday. The event will see a clutch of Bollywood stars meet the British royals.
While Bollywood's original romantic hero Shah Rukh Khan is set to floor them with a performance on his popular chartbusters, Amitabh Bachchan will be delivering the opening speech.
While legends Sachin Tendulkar and Dilip Vengsarkar are set to play host to the royal couple at Oval Maidan, Banganga Tank has been revamped so the 'rani' can walk the steps in heels.
At Churchgate’s Oval Maidan, Kate and Will watch a cricket match that will be played between participating NGOs and trainees of Vengsarkar's academy.
