The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived for an official welcoming ceremony at Prince Edward Island today - the setting for the novel Anne of Green Gables. They arrived in a horse-drawn coach to the delight of thousands more fans who waited patiently for hours for a chance of a glance of the newly-weds.

Kate was seen wearing a cream pencil dress by Sarah Burton at Alexander McQueen - who designed her wedding dress. She teamed the outfit with navy blue heels for a visit close to her heart - Anne of Green Gables is one of her favourite books.

As the carriage passed the crowds, a sea of camera phones were held up and calls of 'William and Kate' rang out.

They’re a handsome couple, but I’d like to see her eat a burger & chocolate malt - she’s a bit thin

I agree. She’s very classy and attractive, but could do with an extra ten pounds or so. It seems like she’s lost weight since they announced their engagement.

She’s a bit thin, but we’ll all know right away when she’s with child — won’t we?

I love that white dress. That’s about the most elegant thing I’ve seen on a public figure in years.

Boy, is she skinny, and is he getting bald! He sure looks like his mom and dad. I didn’t realize how popular they are as I don’t follow British royals. It looks like the whole island turned out for them. You’re right, lots of photos at the link!

I worked with a lady who was rail thin, similar to this gal. She was 7 months prego when she told us, and NONE of us suspected she was pregnant.

Not necessarily. I didn't show until I was five months along with my first.

Yes indeed. And the blue one, and the cream, and in fact anything she wears. Wouldn't it be nice if the US had a prominent lady like that--a well-behaved lady who would wear nice clothes, speak charmingly, look graceful, not take advantage of her position to advance an agenda, and not be a clumsy embarrassment to the nation?

Beautiful dress.

I could wear one like that about 30 years ago. *Sigh*

My mothers Family were early Irish settlers in PEI, as papists they hated the English with some help from the Frogs.

I suppose this royalmania is better than watching that morlock Lady Gaga prance about with her hideous homos.
