Kate's competitive side came out when she faced-off in a boat race against her husband Prince William during the royal tour of Poland and Germany in July 2017. She joked to her crew prior to the race, "No pressure, but I do want to beat my husband!" Despite losing, she was all smiles as she enjoyed her time on the water. Photo: Getty Images
