Athletes, fashion designers, politicians, ambassadors and media personalities were among those who attended the reception for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge at Yarralumla.
Hosted by Governor-General Sir Peter Cosgrove and Lady Cosgrove, the royal couple mingled with the likes of Football Federation Australia CEO David Gallop, footballer Harry Kewell, cricketer Ellyse Perry, former pro-surfer Layne Beachley, INXS rocker Kirk Pengilly and sailor Jessica Watson.
The intimate party of just 100 guests was also attended by Australia’s three serving Victoria Cross recipients – Daniel Keighran and Benjamin Roberts-Smith and SAS Trooper Mark Donaldson.
