Prince William and Kate Middleton pose for selfie-portraits with Australian well-wishers

It's been a good month for royal pictures. First there were the super-cute pics of baby George at his first playgroup in New Zealand, now the royal couple have been snapped in a series of selfies with Australian well-wishers.

One picture was taken by Nina Kiwarkis, who is waiting for a heart and lung transplant, Miss Kiwarkis, 52, said: ‘I thought William would say no but he didn’t. He wished me well.’

Another was taken by Chloe Skafte, a 19-year-old student, who gave Kate a bunch of flowers befoe taking the pic.

The series of selfies have proved a hit on Twitter with many of them being retweeted hundreds of times, including one of a teenager from Christchurch high-fiving Kate with the hashtag #BestSelfieEver.
