William is doing his mother proud.
[quote]ROYALTY has finally touched down in the cyclone-battered community of Cardwell.

Hundreds cheered and waved excitedly outside the Cardwell Community Hall as Prince William's Blackhawk helicopter, flanked by two others, touched down in the stifling humidity.

Shorts, thongs, tee-shirts and the smell of cooking snags greeted William as he warmly shook hands and chatted with Cardwell residents and enjoyed some far north Queensland hospitality.

"I can't believe we watched him grow up and here he is," one excited onlooker said as the prince approached.

The prince brought birthday cheer to a 102-year-old Betty Evans as she sat in her wheelchair clutching a birthday card sent by his grandmother the Queen on her 100th birthday.

Mrs Evans had to be evacuated from her nursing home when Cyclone Yasi tore through the town last month.[/quote]
