The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have arrived in Los Angeles as they continue their first official overseas trip as a married couple.
Their first engagement took them to a new media summit bringing together US and UK technology experts.Prince William plays in a charity polo match later, with Kate presenting the winners' trophy. Their engagements also include a Bafta black-tie reception.
The California trip follows a nine-day visit to Canada by the royals.
"They are the most genuine, down-to-earth people I have ever met," said Neil Stiles, the president of Variety magazine group who hosted the technology event at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.
William and Kate are to visit a community arts organisation working in the deprived Skid Row area of the city, as well as a jobs fair staged by charities that support the reintegration of servicemen and women into civilian life.
Speaking shortly ahead of the couple's arrival, Sir Nigel Sheinwald, Britain's ambassador to the US, said: "They have had a fantastically successful trip to Canada and they will have a great welcome in California.
"They will meet a huge range of people from the governor to people working in the projects of Skid Row. They will get a good snapshot of life in this part of California."
