The royal couple – who have been on a tour of South East Asia and the South Pacific – flew from Tuvalu to Brisbane before boarding their long-haul flight yesterday (19.09.12), with one onlooker saying the 30-year-old duchess looked elegant despite the arduous journey ahead.
Shelley Jelonek told Us Weekly: “She looked amazing, she is so graceful. It’s really impressive that they came up through the normal terminal. I have even more respect for them now.”
Fellow passenger Deena Bryant added: “It’s really nice for people in Australia that she is here, even if it’s only briefly. She always looks so comfortable and elegant.”
While Will wore a suit, Kate – who carried some of her own luggage – made an outfit change from a floral-print dress by Erdem to jeans and a jumper before boarding a commercial flight back to London.
A spokesperson for Brisbane Airport added: “She looked fresh and beautiful and they were both very gracious.”
