William and Kate walk in Diana's footsteps: Royal couple pose on the same marble bench where the prince's mother sat outside the Taj Mahal during her iconic visit 24 years ago

Prince William brought the royal tour of India to a poignant close as he sat down with his wife, the Duchess of Cambridge, on the same marble bench as his late mother, Princess Diana, at the Taj Mahal. The image, 24 years ago, of Diana (right) looking forlorn and alone outside the glorious symbol of eternal love as her marriage to Prince Charles crumbled, became one of the iconic images of their failed relationship. It could not be in starker contrast to today's tender display of affection between a couple still clearly in love as they prepare to celebrate their fifth wedding anniversary on the 29th of this month. William guided Kate and sat down for a small group of waiting photographers in a bid, he said, to 'create some memories of our own'. The couple's farewell to India could not have been more meaningful as they sat together, knees touching, beaming for the assembled photographers. After a private hotel meal, the royal couple were tonight preparing to fly back to the UK.
