PM Modi hosts royal couple Prince William and Kate for lunch
The Prime Minister Modi received the royal couple.
External affairs ministry spokesman Vikas Swarup tweeted: "A royal summer in Delhi! PM @narendramodi receives the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at Hyderabad House."
The visiting Royal couple came to New Delhi from Mumbai on Monday, where they laid a wreath at the Amar Jawan Jyoti memorial to honor the soldiers who had died in World War I. They also paid respects to Mahatma Gandhi, at the Gandhi Smriti.
In the evening, William and Kate attended a garden party to celebrate Queen Elizabeth's 90th birthday, which is on April 21.
From Delhi, the Royal couple will travel to the Kaziranga National Park, home to two-thirds of the world's Indian one-horned rhinos.
They will also visit Bhutan at the invitation of the Himalayan kingdom's King Jigme Khesar Namgyal Wangchuck and Queen Jetsun Pema.
William and Kate will then return to India, where they'll wind up their tour with a visit to the Taj Mahal.
