Kate Middleton, Prince William and their son Prince George (who is too cute for words!) landed in New Zealand on April 7.
Kate, 32, channeled the late Princess Diana and wore a red Catherine Walker coat and Gina Foster hat. She was also seen wearing a silver fern diamond and platinum broach loaned by Queen Elizabeth, who first wore the broach during her Commonwealth Tour in 1954.
Meanwhile, William dressed in a navy suit with a red tie.
George, who is the third in line to the throne, sported a cream sweater and white pants.
Kate, William and George flew first class on Qantas Airways, briefly stopping in Dubai before landing at Sydney International Airport.
In Sydney, George was seen wiggling around as Kate carried him through the terminal to their New Zealand military airfare plane for a three-hour flight to Wellington.
Later today, there will be a reception at the Government House in Wellington, which will be the royal family's homebase as they travel around the country, Us Weekly reports.
The family will spend the next three weeks in New Zealand and Australia on an official tour.
"The Duchess has never visited either country, so this is a chance for her to meet the people of New Zealand and Australia for the first time," William's private secretary Miguel Head told the press in early March.
"So, for the couple, this visit represents a wonderful opportunity on the one hand for The Duke to deepen his personal relationship with, and admiration for, New Zealand and Australia; and on the other, for the Duchess to experience some of the extraordinary warmth and hospitality for which the people of both countries are renowned the world over."
