The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge took some time away from their summer holiday to participate in the King’s Cup yachting regatta on Thursday – and what a day it was! Both Prince William and Kate each skippered their own yacht and were joined on the water by the six celebrity captains as the eight vessels competed for the historic King's Cup. William led his team on behalf of his patronage Child Bereavement UK while Kate competed for the Royal Foundation. However, the Duchess was unfortunately presented with a wooden spoon after her team finished in last place, while the Duke’s team came joint third.

The youngsters looked adorable in nautical stripes – and Princess Charlotte later had the crowd in hysterics by poking her tongue out at them instead of giving them a royal wave.
