The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have left for home after a whirlwind weekend in Southern California that capped a 11-day trip to Canada and the United States, the couple's first official tour.
Prince William said Sunday he and his bride Catherine were grateful for their warm welcome from Californians ranging from Hollywood household names to inner-city school children.
Before departing Los Angeles International Airport Sunday afternoon, William and Kate had a jam-packed day that focused attention on some of their key charity causes.
They started with a private breakfast with patrons of an African wildlife conservancy, then visited a Skid Row arts academy and a job fair for military veterans.
