Battle royal! Duke or Duchess of Cambridge - who is better at sport?

Battle royal! Duke or Duchess of Cambridge - who is better at sport?

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s tour of New Zealand has seen plenty of well-choreographed photocalls since the royal couple touched down at the start of April.

And as well as the usual engagements with dignitaries, schoolchildren and sightseers, Kate and William have also been keen to join in the sporting fun on their travels.

Whether it’s competitive yachting, coaching young rugby teams or a few light overs of cricket, the tour has reminded us that the Duke and Duchess both have sporty streaks.

‘Competitive Kate’ took an early lead against her husband when she comprehensively triumphed in a yachting challenge last week.

But not to be outdone, The Duke leveled the 'royal rumble' when he coached a rugby team to victory in a children’s tournament at the weekend.

The latest sporting spectacle between the Duke and Duchess saw Kate almost ‘bowled over’ as she played cricket in a scarlet skirt suit and high heels in Christchurch.

The big question is though - who is the best all-round sportsperson?

Remind yourself of the royal couples’ athletic pasts - then see who we’ve placed top in our (albeit completely unscientific) ranking.
