Prince William and Kate Visit New Zealand's Blenheim War Memorial

Just three days into the royal tour, Kate Middleton and Prince William are already charming the people of New Zealand.

Kate got to personally meet second world war veterans when she joined her husband to attend a wreath-laying ceremony at Blenheim's war memorial on Thursday morning.

"Lovely, isn't she, very natural," said veteran Wilton Sterritt, who is over 90 years old and served as a seaman for the Royal New Zealand Navy.

Queen of Jewelry

Brooches, usually worn on the left shoulder, were a favourite for the royal and the Queen was believed to have over 100 in her collection. A selection that would go with an outfit were presented to her - usually three at a time - by her senior dresser and confidante Angela Kelly on special trays that once belonged to Queen Mary. The royal had a wide variety of different brooches which she often wore with her usual pearl earrings and necklace, including a spray of flowers brooch by the people and government of Australia during her Coronation tour of 1954./
