William maintained royal composure in what appeared to be a vice-like grip. Modi’s palm print could be seen for some seconds after the handshake as they posed for photographs.

The royal couple are on a week-long tour of India and Bhutan that began on Sunday, April 3.

On Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had hosted British royal couple Prince William and Kate Middleton for lunch to the accompaniment of classical music.

The Prime Minister received the couple on the steps of the Hyderabad House located next to the India Gate. While Kate wore a knee-length gauze green dress, William donned a dark-coloured suit and a tie.
A four-course Indian meal, both vegetarian and non- vegetarian, was served at the lunch hosted at the historic mansion here which before Independence served as the grand residence of the Nizam of Hyderabad.

The event was marked by santoor recital by classical musician Rahul Sharma. One of the highlights of the performance was the rendition of Beatles' famous number 'Let It Be'.
