Will and Kate charm Canada

Will and Kate charm Canada
Quebec, Canada: Prince William and Kate thrilled hundreds of adoring fans with an unscheduled walkabout at Quebec's City Hall on Sunday, the fourth day of their Canada trip.

The royal couple encountered small but vocal protests for the second straight day during their visit to Quebec, following protests in Montreal.

The visit hit a nerve among French-speaking separatists.

The newlyweds arrived in Quebec City on Sunday morning on a Canadian navy frigate after an overnight trip from Montreal down the picturesque St Lawrence Seaway.

Prince William and Kate took part in a bilingual interfaith prayer service on the deck of the HMCS Montreal after it docked in Quebec City.

They then headed ashore for a meeting with residents of La Maison Dauphine, a centre that helps homeless youths.

In a nod to Quebeckers, Kate wore a dark blue lace Jacquenta dress by the designer Erdem.

It was the second time during the trip that she wore a dress from the collection of the Montreal-born, London-based Erdem Moralioglu.

She later wore a cream-coloured Vanessa sleeveless crepe dress by Joseph at an event at Forts-de-Levis that was attended by several hundred supporters.

The couple did a longer walkabout there.

The newlyweds were on the fourth day of a nine-day trip to Canada, part of their first official overseas trip since their April 29 wedding.

They leave Canada for a three-day trip to California on July 8.
