Kate Middleton is charming and popular for many reasons, including her savvy fashion sense.

Unlike other royals, the Duchess of Cambridge is no snob when it comes to designer labels and recycling old outfits. Her thrifty nature is one of the reasons she’s so well-loved.

According to the head of the village, the British royals enjoyed their time there.

He said: “We are all very happy and it makes us proud that they have come here. William and Kate told us they are feeling great to be in India. They also told us they like being in Assam because both enjoy drinking tea.”
