“And William was on the other side,” they said in unison.

“And they were both lovely,” Joyce said.

The sisters were fond of Kate’s Alexander McQueen dress.

“Although the dress might have been $7,000, she is priceless,” Joyce said. “She wore red and white, which is very appropriate.”

“Perfect for Canada,” Jacqueline added.

The Robbins sisters are a staple in Vancouver’s film community and may be familiar to movie buffs. They appeared in the 2006 version of The Wicker Man as well as multiple TV series. One of their early appearances was a cameo in the music video for Tom Cochrane’s 1991 hit “Life Is a Highway.”
