The couple had their photo clicked sitting at a marble bench, called the Diana seat which was made famous by a photograph of William’s mother, Lady Diana, two decades ago.

Security was stepped up for the royal visit, but the monument of love was open to public.

William and Kate are on a week-long tour to India from April 10, their first official visit to the country.

They travelled to Mumbai, Delhi and Kaziranga National Park in Assam.
