The Prince of Wales pulled on some gloves and tried his hand at boxing to mark the 10th anniversary of a sports coaching charity.
William, joined by the Princess of Wales, was visiting the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, London as part of the Coach Core celebrations today.
The heir to the throne smiled as he threw some punches with a few words of guidance from two of the young people working with Coach Core.
Kate meanwhile had a go at boccia, a game similar to bowls and pentanque, but played from a sitting position.
The now independent charity was set up by the Royal Foundation in 2012 in response to the London riots and to carry on the legacy ideals of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
It uses sports apprenticeships to help boost social mobility for young adults not in employment or education.
So far it has supported more than 750 disadvantaged young people onto community sports coaching apprenticeships.
The royal couple, both 40, had the chance to meet some of these young people at the event, with Kate looking stylish in a vintage blue Chanel jacket.
Coach Core counts six-time Olympic medallist Max Whitlock, tennis coach Judy Murray and England and Manchester City captain Steph Houghton amongst its ambassadors.
The charity was one of the first launched by the Royal Foundation and Prince William, Kate and Prince Harry all played a key role and supported it throughout the years.
Gymnast Max Whitlock, a six-time Olympic medallist and a Coach Core ambassador, said: "We're helping a lot more kids involved in sport by providing good coaches, good role models and (helping) these people into full-time employment - which is incredible.
"Two of the biggest problems in gymnastics - it's the same in most sports - is space and coaches. Obviously Coach Core is trying to fulfil that need for more and more good quality coaches to support these children who are coming through."
Speaking in 2020 at its award ceremony, William lauded the programme for its work and Meghan said that her husband Harry had “devoted so many years to Coach Core".
On Monday the royal couple took over the airwaves at BBC Radio 1 for a special broadcast about young people and their mental health.
Kate announced that BBC’s “Newsbeat will sound slightly different” today.
William then said: “As part of World Mental Health Day, Katherine and I have recorded a special programme taking over the radio to talk about the importance of mental health.
“You could be living one life one minute and something massively changes and you realise you don’t necessarily have the tools or the experience to be able to tackle that."
