Kate's Marilyn moment: Duchess struggles to control her £1,700 dress as she and William lay a wreath at Delhi war memorial

It was the most solemn and poignant moment of the Royal tour so far – as Kate and William honoured India's war dead at its national memorial.
So there couldn't have been a worse time for the Duchess's £1,700 dress to start misbehaving.
As the couple laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Delhi, Kate found herself repeatedly battling to stop it flapping up in the breeze in images reminiscent of the iconic Marilyn Monroe 'white dress' pose.
Her flyaway hair and outfit then continued to cause her embarrassment as she tried to stand in a moment of reflection while the Last Post was played.

Arriving in New Delhi today, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge undertook some of the more formal duties required of a traditional Royal tour.

First stop was India Gate, the imposing 137ft high red sandstone structure in the heart of the bustling city which is the country's national war memorial.
The couple were greeted as they stepped out of their official car by Brigadier Mark Goldsach, FCO Defence Attaché, and Lt Col Simon Labilliere of the Army Air Corps, military advisor to the British High Commission.

On the wreath they laid was a card written by William, which they had both signed, which read: 'Never forgetting those who had paid the ultimate sacrifice for India.' William also signed a visitors book.
Before they left, the couple, unusually, posed for photographs against the imposing structure before being whisked off for their next engagement.
The couple flew in from Mumbai on a private jet they have hired to travel around the country and on to Bhutan.
