Kate Middleton flexes her competitive side against Prince William
Prince William and Kate Middleton have gone head to head in a seemingly friendly competition as the royal couple attended a spin class in South Wales.
The Prince and Princess of Wales took each other on in a 45-second spin class sprint at the Aberavon Leisure and Fitness Centre in Port Talbot, with Kate leaving her husband in the metaphorical dust.
Much to her surprise, the princess took out the title in the "Tour de Aberavon" and was handed a little gold cup, which she looked at proudly.
Kate's win was made even more impressive as she competed while wearing a black-and-white houndstooth-print skirt, which was paired with Gianvito Rossi suede boots with a 10-centimetre heel.
For the competition, Prince William was dressed in a navy suit and suede lace-up shoes for the series of engagements the couple made on the trip ahead of St David's Day – a day celebrating the nation's patron saint.
The virtual race was themed to be an uphill ride through the Italian mountains, as Prince William told others in the room, "Sorry for ruining your spin class."
As he climbed on the stationary bike, the royal realised his wife's shoes, pointing out, "You have got high heels on".
Kate agreed, saying, "Not sure I am dressed for this."
However, once on her bike the mum-of-three was seen adjusting the gears, asking as she laughed, "Can I make it harder?"
Kate was visibly catching her breath at the end of the race, while Prince William gasped for air.
"Talk to you in a minute," he joked to the class.
The competitive dad-of-three, who has regularly been spotted cycling with his kids near their Norfolk home, had everyone laughing soon after.
"I think I tore my pants!" he said.
The couple visited the fitness centre to hear about how the facility was helping the local community with mental health through exercise.
