As a father-of-three and the next in line to the throne, the Prince of Wales has come into his own – and certainly looks the part.
With his wife, Kate Middleton, alongside him, we’ve seen William try his hand at a range of swashbuckling activities in public, including skiing, polo and even abseiling.
Perhaps it all make sense as his father, King Charles was extremely active, too a pilot and polo player who served in both the Royal Navy and the Royal Air Force.

Most recently, William was recorded rowing with the Navy in a six-minute clip which uploaded on the Prince and Princess of Wales ‘ YouTube account.
The Prince arrived at Dorney Lake in Windsor to meet members of the HMS Oardacious to meet with those campaigning to provide mental health support to those working in submarines.
After being introduced to the group, William tried his hand at rowing – but joked he might accidentally ‘slap oars’ with one of the professionals.
