"Yoga is part of training," Mike acknowledged, before adding: "It's not my specialty."

Despite this, Mike wowed fans with his yoga prowess, contorting his body into various poses with ease, excelling at one called 'kneeling tree.'

Mike, Boy George and Seann Walsh did well in the trial

Mike isn't the only royal with yoga skills – Meghan Markle, who is married to Mike's cousin-in-law Prince Harry, is vocal about her passion for the practice and has been doing yoga since she was eight years old.

"I'll do yoga a couple of times a week – hot yoga, specifically," Meghan told Best Health Magazine in 2016.

Meghan has also previously said: "I love an intense vinyasa class – and even better if it's blasting hip hop and done in a dark room with candlelight."
