Prince William, Catherine head to CA

(CNN) -- Prince William and his wife, Catherine, will land in Los Angeles on Friday evening for the last leg of their whirlwind North American tour that started in Canada last week.


Gov. Jerry Brown and his wife will welcome the royal couple.


Before they left for the United States, William and Catherine kicked off the Calgary Stampede in Canada, where parade-goers got a glimpse of the royal couple.


The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge donned cowboy hats and watched as musicians and dancers performed at the annual event.


The Alberta government later hosted a reception for the royal couple at the Calgary zoo.


Finally, they attended a departure ceremony, complete with full military honors and a 21-gun salute.


William and Catherine are headed to Los Angeles for a three-day visit of California.


After arriving at the Los Angeles International Airport, the couple will make their way to their first event at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills.


The conference draws British and American venture capitalists, and leaders from the technology industry looking for new investment opportunities and ways to create jobs in both countries.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge started their Canadian tour last week in Ottawa, Ontario.
