Royals return

Report

The Duke and the Duchess's last day in California focussed on gritty rather than glitzy events.

After a night at a BAFTA reception,where the emphasis was on young talent and much of the focus was on the stars and the dresses on display, the couple visited an arts project in a poor neighbourhood of Los Angeles and a jobs fair for American former service personnel seeking work.

Prince William, an RAF search and rescue pilot, takes a keen interest in veterans' affairs.

"This is the last event on our tour of North America but to my mind it's one of the seriously most important. This is because it's about men and women who, of their own free will, choose to put their life on the line for their country."

William and Kate are returning home after a tour of Canada and America which was a significant milestone in their life together and in her new life as a royal.
