:thanks: Thanks for all the links sara8150!  :brightside: A local news outlet says that Wills and Kate DID get their down time away from everything after all, they stayed overnight at the Skoki Lodge near Lake Louise, in Banff ski country in Alberta:

And a video of Skoki Lodge, it looks rustic but in very beautiful surroundings, the rockies are gorgeous!:

^^ I find it plausible.  Weren't they supposed to take the entire day off, but decided to visit a fire-ravaged area instead?  This would have given them the break they would have gotten had they rested today.

Cindy

:thankyou: Thanks Cindy. and that's just what they did, as we all found out.  I fixed the AP images link as well, so now everyone should be able to see all 76 photos:

Lovely Kate & Lucky Will  :girlblush:

[Rachel Mc.]

William and Kate will be spending their down time in Lake Louise. Global News caught up with a Calgary couple who had a 'hunch' the Duke and Duchess would be in the area. Sure enough, they found a motorcade which drove up the ski hill to meet three military helicopters. The Royal Couple will be escorted to a private lodge five minutes away to relax and enjoy a beautiful evening in the Rocky Mountains.

Maple Leaf thank you so much for the link...I went near there with my bf 2 year ago for my birthday....it was the most romantic week-end of my life so far...Canada is just amazing!

Mia Luvs Prince Hashem thanks! i'll send you the picture as soos as I find it...it's on gettyimages tho. ;)

[Beloved]

I must say this tour has really enlightened me in regards to what a naturally beautiful place Canada is. I'm American and have always loved Canada, and I have visited both
Toronto and Montreal and enjoyed myself immensely. Still, I never knew such beautiful expanses of natural land existed in the north. I definitely have to visit one day.

[blackprincess92]

how many parts will there be ..10 :lol:

[MissComplexSimplicity]

I don't know if you noticed that someone from the crowed gave Kate a book...she said thank you very much and went on to say hi to all the other people..i just found out the book was about princess' Diana's life  :notamused:

I find that a little weird... :loco:

[wannable]

Any chance of a tiara for this one? Or will she maybe wear the brooch again?

We'll get to know tonight. I hope so anyway, at least one dressy event would be nice.

me too...especially bc she doesn't need a book to know about her husband's mom...

hmmm i don't think there will be a tiara...but hoping for a nice long dress :)

[wannable]

She does accordingly to protocol in the walkabouts, accepts the flowers, trinkets and gifts given to her by the public.  It would be a juicy media scandal if Catherine is videotaped rejecting a gift.

of course she accepted it and it was really nice she said "Oh thank you so much", the gift was just weird

[wannable]

Mike, there's a lot of US information about their California touchdown this coming Friday, I will post eventually tomorrow after their Calgary Stampede, which I think will be big, media wise.  The Telegraph claims that even the California Governor will be receiving the couple and an expat Brit says she's got inside knowledge that Hollywood, media and paparazzi have the "Kate" craze.

[brittanylala]

They are still in Canada? Have they not outstayed their welcome yet?

[missbliss]

near Lake Louise, in Banff ski country in Alberta

- the most beautiful place I think I have ever seen.  So glad they have a chance to experience it without constantly being under photographic surveillance!  :D

[MissComplexSimplicity]

Yes, no one was criticizing he way Kate handled it...we were simply saying that the gift was strange.

[wannable]

I think Catherine has seen and read all the Diana videos, books and photos though.

[JekkaBee]

Oh I've stayed at the Skoki Lodge before! It's very nice and isolated. You cant get to it by vehicle, you have to hike along a trail. I hope they had a good time away from all the people.

[Rachel Mc.]

i'm sure she saw all her videos and photos, but i don't think she read any books, she has the most accurate source in the world to talk about her
