The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge arrived in Wales with two surprise guests.
On Saturday, the royal couple visited Cardiff Castle as part of Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee celebrations and were joined by two of their children, Prince George and Princess Charlotte.
Prince Louis did not join his family as he was likely too young for the trip.
We’ve arrived in Wales ??????????????

We’re looking forward to seeing how you’re marking the #PlatinumJubilee at Cardiff Castle today and meeting some of the talented people helping you celebrate in style.
However, their appearance does underline one of the main objects of the Jubilee weekend — to not only celebrate the Queen's 70-year reign but also stress the future and the succession of the monarchy.
The day was also especially poignant for 8-year-old George, whose visit mirrored his father's first official trip to Wales when he was the same age. In March 1991, William joined his mother, Princess Diana and father, Prince Charles, in Cardiff.
Per People, the children, who held hands with their parents, met performers, including singer Bonnie Tyler, and crew involved in a special Platinum Jubilee Celebration Concert taking place on the grounds of Cardiff Castle.
