India, March 7 -- During a visit to Leicester in the UK to celebrate the British Indian community a day after Holi, Catherine, Princess of Wales, surprised many by stepping beyond royal formality. She removed her shoes to enter the Shreeji Dham Haveli Hindu Temple and even joined women in a traditional garba dance. It marked her first official visit to a Hindu temple in the UK. The royal also stopped along the city's famous "Golden Mile", sampling Indian sweets and chai while chatting with local family-run businesses. The mother of three also spoke about enjoying spicy flavours such as chilli and coriander, delighting members of the Indian community. For the outing, the Princess of Wales wore a cream pleated midi dress and coat by Ralph Lauren with neutral accessories. Her Sezane 'Dina' earrings - originally priced at $130 (Rs.11,913) but currently on sale for $50 (Rs.4,582) - were seen as a nod to intricate Indian gold jewellery. The all-white ensemble also echoed Holi traditions, where white clothing is worn before the colours are thrown.HTC...
