Sad moment as royal couple tours gardens |

Sad moment as royal couple tours gardens
In a poignant moment,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], royals William and Kate visited Singapore's Botanic Gardens and viewed an orchid named for Princess Diana after her death.
Princess Diana never got to see the magnificent free-flowing hybrid as she died only a few weeks before a scheduled trip to Singapore's Botanic Gardens in 1997,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The Duchess of Cambridge - popularly known as Kate - defied the sticky tropical heat in a kimono-style soft pink,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], long-sleeved,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], knee-length dress,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], patterned with white orchids,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], by British designer Jenny Packham.
She matched it with tan shoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a half-up hair do and tiny drop pearl earrings.
The future king was overheard joking with his bride about how her dress matched the orchid with white petals and purple red spots that was on Tuesday named 'Vanda William Catherine' in their joint honour,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
He also asked staff at the gardens whether his mother had a chance to see the delicate flower named after her,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and sadly remarked 'that's a shame' when told she hadn't.
Princess Diana's white orchid,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Dendrobium Memoria,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was named in September 1997.
Among the 180 orchids named after VIPs are blooms paying tribute to Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], South Africa's Nelson Mandela,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], singer Ricky Martin and the Queen.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are touring South-East Asia and the South Pacific as part of celebrations marking the 60th year of Queen Elizabeth II's reign.
It will be a vastly different tour to when they visited North America last year although Kate - now a fashion icon - is expected to once again pay homage to the locals by wearing some home-grown designers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Despite her near perfect evolution into the royal role, all eyes will be on the new Duchess to see how she handles herself when pitted against the unforgiving humidity, insects,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], language barriers,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and vastly different cultures and religions.
Kate is expected to wow the crowds later in the evening by wearing a lavish ball gown at a state dinner hosted by Singapore's President Tony Tan at his official residence.
The dinner will wrap up the first of their three days in Singapore,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
The Queen has personally selected much of their nine-day itinerary,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], which also takes in Malaysia, the Solomon Islands and the tiny island of Tuvalu - but not Australia.
Renowned for their common touch, the couple will join children in sports, scrub down after some art therapy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], travel by garlanded war canoes,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], visit a jungle, and wear traditional dress at outdoor feasts.
