William And Kate Almost Caught Up In India Earthquake

William and Kate have been caught up in a massive 7.0 earthquake which hit the south east Asian country of Myanmar - just 500 miles from where the couple are staying on their royal tour of India.

The epicentre of the huge tremor, measuring 7.0 on the Richter scale, was just outside the northwestern city of Monywa, according to the US Geological Survey (USGC).

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are staying at the Kaziranga National Park - 800km from the earthquake - and felt tremors from the huge event.

It is not clear at this stage if there are any casualties from the earthquake, which spread across parts of north eastern India.
