Prince William loses to Princess in sporting battle

The Prince and Princess of Wales displayed their competitive side once more on Tuesday, when they participated in activities at Aberavon Leisure Centre in South Wales.

William, 40, and Kate, 41, jumped at the chance to get involved in a spin class at the Port Talbot Sports centre as the pair battled it out in the “Tour de Aberavon’ challenge.

Kate removed her smart cream coat, and hopped on the spin bike in her £19.99 Zara skirt and high-heeled black boots, while William, calmly confident, kept on his suit jacket for the 45-second competition.

Fellow class attendees cheered on both the Prince and Princess of Wales, but it was Kate who was ultimately victorious in the short, yes, strenuous, sporting challenge.

The Prince and Princess of Wales are visiting communities and several mental health initiatives in South Wales ahead of St David’s Day, which takes place on March 1. They visited Aberavon Leisure Centre to promote how sport can help improve mental health.

Their Royal Highnesses started their busy day with a visit to a drug and alcohol rehabilitation centre to launch their latest initiative: creating therapy gardens to offer mental health support across South Wales.

Kate and William have long worked to highlight the importance of mental health services; through their Royal Foundation, they launched the Heads Together campaign alongside Prince Harry in 2016.

The initiative is a joint effort between the couple’s Royal Foundation and a social enterprise called Life at No.27, which uses horticulture and counselling to help improve its service users’ mental health.

While at Brynawel Rehabilitation Centre, Prince William and Kate visited the site that will be used for the new therapy allotment, which will feature a sensory and herbal garden, mud kitchen and an interactive learning space.

The Princess of Wales got stuck in on the allotments, helping to plant seeds for a flower called the ‘Sweet William’.
