Yee-ha! The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge get into the cowboy spirit in Calgary. Photos:PA
The duke and duchess were invited to watch the world famous Calgary Stampede - an annual 10 day festival known as 'the greatest outdoor show on earth,' which sees participants competiting in bull riding contests to win a $2million prize.
And they made sure they arrived in style, dressed in their matching stetsons and sat aboard a traditional Western wagon.
Kate got well and truly into cowgirl mode in a patterned white shirt, flared jeans and classic brown cowboy boots.
