This day of the tour was meant to be clear, free for the royal couple to rest and recoup.  Instead, the duo ditched their plans visited the people of Slave Lake whose lives had been affected by the wild fires in two months prior.

    Can’t wait to find out where Kate’s blouse is from. From the one pic I saw of it, it’s not her engagement blouse from Whistles.

    It’s her whistles blouse for sure!

      Hmmm I’m not convinced. This picture looks nothing like this one!

    Sky news has film of the Duke and Duchess crossing the tarmac to the plane.

    Btw, the wildfires did not occur last year, the town was burnt in May 2011.

    • Carly says

      July 6, 2011 at 7:42 pm

      Oh, that’s odd. I got that information from Wikipedia. Thanks for letting me know, I’ll edit it.

    • Carly says

      July 6, 2011 at 7:43 pm

      Maybe they were referencing an older fire?

      • Courtney says

        July 6, 2011 at 7:48 pm

        That is very possible, as there are wildfires in that part of the province often. However, the one that did burn homes, etc. was in May 2011 🙂

    it is so classy that they came here to this fire ravaged town on their day off (they were originally going to go to beautiful banff, ab) and then went here.
    This will boost the people’s morale. God bless them.

    here are some great photos from their visit in slave lake

    It’s not the Whistles engagement blouse; the ruffles are completely different. I agree with Melissa – I think that it is great that they took their day off to visit with the people of Slave Lake 🙂

    I really want a pair

    the wedges are L.K. Bennet and the Blazer/Jacket is Smythes…not the blouse like it said in the first paragraph.

      Oops! Will change, thanks for letting me know. That’s what happens when you’re head gets mashed from Kate overload!
