Sporty Kate was in her element as she and William kicked off a surprise two-day tour of Northern Ireland with an action-packed day of activities.
A smile was never far from the Duchess of Cambridge's face as she showed off her footballing skills, tried her hand at archery, practised putting up a tent and took on her husband in a heated Canadian canoe race.
The couple appeared in excellent spirits as they arrived at their first stop of Belfast's Windsor Park stadium, where they jostled on the pitch as they joined excited schoolchildren for a spirited kickabout.
Kate, 37, started the day in a £1,200 Carolina Herrera coat and £199 LK Bennett boots, but soon swapped them for a £159 navy Barbour jacket and £80 New Balance trainers which proved a more practical choice.
Keen football fan William, 36, also came prepared with a second pair of shoes and spent much of the afternoon in Nike trainers. Read More from The Daily Mail.
