    Soccer star David Beckham was on hand for the gathering, as well as British actor/writer Stephen Fry, who Tweeted about his Royal encounter.

    "Entirely charming evening at the British Consulate here in LA," he wrote. "The Cambridges dazzled everyone."

      Of course Kate can afford to be a fashion plate -> all courtesy of UK's taxpayers money.
      When in Quebec, some 60 protestors were present and shouted, "Parasites!".

        Wake up and smell the coffee already!!! Do you not keep up on things before you sprout your mouth! Many years ago, British parliment (with the blessing of the royal family), passed legislation that makes the royals (other the Queen herself), pay their own way. The younger royals do not receive any UK stippen, aka tax money paycheques!
        You really don't believe kate pays for all these dresses, do you??? The designers are thrilled to have her wear anything of their's and thus give them to her to wear. They are usually then donated to some high society charity auction.
