Today the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge took to the waters in the inaugural regatta The King’s Cup to raise awareness and funds for eight of Their Royal Highnesses’ patronages.
The Duke and Duchess arrived this afternoon at the Isle of Wright for a day of competition. The race, originally scheduled for Friday, was moved up a day due to the expected poor weather conditions.
