Royal Tour Rolls On
The WillKat convoy hit Malaysia today, with the Young Royals touching down in Kuala Lumpur.
Kate spent time with 15-year-old Zakwan Anuar (below), who is terminally ill with acute leukaemia.
The 15-year-old was so set on meeting the Duchess that he postponed a blood transfusion for 24 hours so he would not miss her visit.
The Duchess asked him about his treatment and said: 'You must be very, very brave. Are you in pain? You’re a brave boy. Thank you so much for coming to see me.'
Kate used the visit to make her first official speech on foreign soil.
