Kate said as she walked under an umbrella: ‘Oh my gosh. The weather – sorry we’ve brought England’s rain with us’
And William also quipped: ‘We’ve brought the weather, haven’t we?’ In fact, the UK is enjoying unseasonably warm weather today as temperatures reached 19C (66F) and people flocked to beaches across southern England.

Today’s assembly saw children from schools across the Bahamian islands dial in to meet the couple. Schools in the Bahamas were closed for nearly two years from March 2020 until January this year because of the pandemic.
Later during their first full day in the Bahamas, William and Kate will take to the waters off the islands to join a regatta in honour of the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee and are expected to race against each other.
The Cambridges will also spend time with key workers and frontline staff in an informal gathering in the Garden of Remembrance, also in the capital, to hear about their experiences of the pandemic.
In the evening they will attend a dinner hosted by the Governor General Sir Cornelius Smith featuring community leaders and local heroes and the duke will give a speech. They are currently on an eight-day tour of the Caribbean which began on March 19 and has already taken them to Belize and Jamaica. The tour will finish tomorrow.
