Prince William played well enough in a charity polo match Saturday to earn public kisses from his wife and then mingled with a dazzling array of Hollywood royalty eager to meet the newlyweds on their visit to Southern California.
At the midpoint of their tour, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge wowed a crowd at a sun splashed polo field and then swung to the glamour of a black tie evening event that drew Nicole Kidman, Tom Hanks, Barbra Streisand, Blake Lively and Jennifer Lopez, among many others.
On Sunday Britain's Prince William and his wife, Catherine, will start their last day in Los Angeles, where they'll see an arts program for inner city children.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge combined commerce and charity work during their three days in Southern California following a visit to Canada.
Weekend events included the prince's participation in a polo competition in Carpinteria, California, on Saturday afternoon.
Prince William and his team won the match after he scored four goals in the final game. His reward? A sterling silver and gold trophy, along with a kiss from his wife.
Proceeds from the match go to a foundation supported by the prince and his brother that helps disadvantaged youth, sustainable development and military families.
The royal couple has had a busy stay, which included a meeting with thespians and Hollywood's elite during an event by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts on Saturday night.
While Beverly Hills is the land of the famous, the visit by the recently married couple has caused a major stir.
Spago, Wolfgang Puck's restaurant, offered a British menu for the duration, including dishes served during the royal wedding festivities. The Beverly Hills eatery added Yorkshire pudding to its menu for the weekend.
Not to be outdone, the city's famously aggressive paparazzi tried to pursue the newlyweds at a private party at the British consul general's Hollywood home.
Neighbors surrounding the residence, where the royals also spent the night, gave police permission to arrest photographers caught on private property.
