Prince William is seen taking selfies with excited Royal fans in Brazil's Rio

It is the first time a member of the British Royal Family has visited the area, which is made up of some 5,000 residents and located in Guanabara Bay, Rio de Janeiro. It has declared the occasion 'The Day of the Prince', with pupils clamouring to be off school for the event. When asked about any previous royal visitors, one local looked back to 1555 when the Portuguese Crown landed.
