Kate got on her marks and William took the wheel of a digger on Wednesday as Harry’s swansong as a senior royal got under way.
The Duchess of Cambridge channelled the Green Goddess look pioneered by TV keep-fit expert Diana Moran during the 1980s at a SportsAid event in London while William needed a steady hand as he controlled a digger during a visit to Nottinghamshire.
The Duke of Sussex, meanwhile, prepared to exit as a senior royal with some of his final engagements before his new life of financial independence with the Duchess of Sussex in Canada.

Julia Wendell, who claims to be Kate and Gerry McCann’s missing daughter, Madeleine McCann, has now shared a message to the couple, saying that she truly believes she could be their daughter - and if not then she believes that she was abused by the same perpetrator who kidnapped the then-three-year-old back in 2007.
