Prince William and Kate Middleton get sporty during Wolverhampton visit

Prince William and Kate marked Mental Health Awareness Week, a subject close to their hearts, as they visited three local organisations, which support children and young people with their mental health and wellbeing.

The Royal couple’s first stop of the day was at The Way Wolverhampton Youth Zone, where they joined a group of young people as they took part in a number of wellbeing sessions.

And of course the notoriously competitive couple couldn’t resist getting involved in all of the sporting activities on offer at the centre! 

William and Kate matched in navy tones for their joint outing, with the Duchess wearing a polka dot Tory Burch blouse and flared trousers. The Duke donned a smart navy blazer with a pale blue collared shirt underneath a jumper.

Outside they donned gardening gloves to join a group of children in a gardening exercise to highlight the importance of the nature and outdoor activities to mental health. 

The Duchess appeared to get the giggles as her husband attempted to plant some flowers. 

Kate spoke of her love of spending time in the outdoors with their children, and asked if they talked about mental health at school.

William told one group: “Catherine is very good at gardening.”

The Duchess also showed off her sporty side, as she tried an archery session. 

“Terrible!” she exclaimed after missing the target.

“Come on Catherine!” William said as he encouraged her to join their foursome, “Catherine is really good at table tennis.”

When she did, the couple were in their element. “This could go on for hours,” said William. “Talk amongst yourselves!”
