Dancing Queen: Duchess Kate Twists The Night Away In Grass Skirt

Get updates from MyDaily Staff:

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge both showed off their fancy footwork last night after joining in a traditional evening of dance in the South Pacific.

The royal couple, who were on a remote island called Tuvalu, joined six island communities at a local dance, where groups try to sing and out-dance each other.

Kate, wearing the pretty embroidered Alice by Temperley Long Beatrice Dress from the Pre-Fall 2012 collection, looked totally at ease as she joined the ladies at the Vaiku Falekaupule for the entertainment programme.

And even Prince William pulled on a grass skirt and joined in the fun at one point. Does one look a bit silly? Yes, but we love the fact one did it anyway.

Looks like they're having a blast. See more pics from their Far East tour here:

Looks like they are having a great time on this extended holiday,at tax payers expence
05:34 AM on 09/19/2012
I do not ordinarily read about the Royal family. However, I feel obliged to leave a comment as I burst into uncontrollable laughter when I saw William "putting it down". That boy can move, seriously. I think he must have been attending parties in South London as against doing the Fox Trot at his grandmother's abode!

I do find the grandsons, William and Harry or Henry quite endearing. I understand people believe they are wasting taxpayers' money with their visits abroad, but they do bring a fresh perspective to these visits, compared to the Queen and her husband shaking hands and the latter making inappropriate comments to other nationals.

When Harry (or Henry) visited Jamaica in March this year, despite the fun" side of meeting Bolt and driving late at night to Negril just to see the sunrise at West Point, he was formally commended for his charity work and received more attention than his father and stepmother who visited some time before.

I think the young members of the Royals will inevitably change the image of "taxpayers' freeloaders" because they might have new, innovative ideas as to how to maximise their worth. Their late mother might be responsible for their insight into other cultures as she travelled extensively with them when she undertook humanitarian missions abroad.

I notice that Will and Kate are no longer on Huff's 'news' page and have been moved to 'celebrity'!
04:10 AM on 09/19/2012
sorry they looked like a couple of upper class twits at the local church disco back when i was a youngster.
04:08 AM on 09/19/2012
What purpose is there in sending these two and god knows how many more hangers on and security to Tuvalu. Is retaining these minor islands in the commonwealth just an excuse for a royal freebie to an exotic island, how much trade do we have with these people, when was the last time a politician or trade delegation visited them, or them us. Save millions and stop these useless visits.
04:23 AM on 09/19/2012
Totally agree. Their wardrobe costs would keep a family of 4 fed for 2 years.
04:55 AM on 09/19/2012
Agree with your post and also the visit would have cost the islanders a lot of money to provide the welcome and gifts, without any gain for them.
05:40 AM on 09/19/2012
You have a valid point about the costs of these trips. I think most of the payment is done by the Commonwealth and Foreign Offices and the hosting country coughs up around 30%. For example, when Harry (or Henry) visited Jamaica in March 2012, the total cost of hosting for that country was equivalent to £50,000. This amount was donated by the Jamaican hoteliers so there was no strain on the public purse.

In the scheme of things, that might seem a large amount for other hosts might struggle even more to accommodate them according to infrastructures changes etc.

At the moment, the Duke and Duchess are representing the Queen in the South Pacific-- the thoughtless of you will immediately say thet are having a holiday at our expense. OK-- that's the level of your thought and you are entitled to express it-- but if you look carefully at the news of the past week, you will see that they have been bloody busy-- how many places have they visited? how many special occasions? how many officials and inhabitants to talk to?
I wonder if any of you could do what they have had to do?
02:46 AM on 09/19/2012
Probably all of us could do it, walk about, wave, visit gardens, have to eat at banquets and watch dancers.
03:07 AM on 09/19/2012
i would love any holiday not had one in 15 years and if i get one i will wave to you all thanks

I've got you sussed; you should change your name to Devil's advocate.

I would love a all inclusive, luxury 9 day trip to the South Pacific, in return, all would have to do is smile sweetly and shake a few hands, nice work if you can get it!!
