William, Kate take kids out for a day of volunteering after coronation
It was a fun family affair for the Princes and Princesses of Wales.
Coronation celebrations continued on Monday with Prince William, his wife, Kate Middleton, and their kids — Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5 — taking part in a variety of activities at the 3rd Upton Scout Group.
The royals visited the Brownie troop in Slough, England, to participate in an initiative titled “The Big Help Out” — a day full of charity and volunteering.
William, 40, and Kate, 41, accompanied the group to help remodel their Scout Hut, doing tasks such as excavating, sanding and painting.
At one point, William and George sat in a big yellow excavator to dig into a pile of dirt.
The father of three then took Louis up into the vehicle and steered it into the mud.
The family also wore matching burgundy and yellow ribbons that hung around their necks for the springtime outing.
Little Louis even drove a wheelbarrow into the grass that was full of debris.
The event was actually the tot’s first official royal engagement.
It was then archery time for the fam, with the kiddies living out their “Hunger Games” fantasies by shooting bows and arrows.
Louis made funny faces again as he pulled back the plastic darts and made sure to hit his target.
Middleton also showed the crowd how it was done by shooting straight as her husband laughed and watched on.
Charlotte and Louis got their hands dirty by painting their palms and covering the walls with handprints.
George carefully picked up a drill and started fastening wood pieces together.
It was snack time for the royal clan later on in the day when they all enjoyed making s’mores.
Louis even roasted his own marshmallows by a fire and was spotted taking a big bite of his sweet dessert.
Being a Brownie and a Girl Scout has always been close to the Princess of Wales’ heart, as she and her sister, Pippa Middleton, were members in their younger years.
Kate is also the joint President of the Scout Association alongside Prince Edward, the Duke of Kent.
George, Charlotte and Louis just came from an exciting weekend, having been a part of their grandfather, King Charles’ coronation on May 6.
The trio were one of the main highlights of the ceremony, with Louis giving a cute wave to onlookers and also yawning during the liturgy at Westminster Abbey.
Charlotte took a coveted seat in the front row of the ceremony alongside Louis and her parents.
As for George, he was given the special task of being one of Charles’ Pages of Honor, having held onto his red robe as the 74-year-old monarch walked into the church.
