Royally good sports! Beaming Princess Kate and Prince William look the part in unseen photo from visit to mountain rescue centre on cover of its magazine

In an unseen photo of their visit to a mountain rescue center, the Prince and Princess of Wales appeared sporting royalty.

Kate and Prince William, both 41, looked good in red waterproof jackets when they joined the Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team in Wales in April 2023 when they were put to the test with some rappelling.

The royal couple also took part in medical support exercises – helping a ‘patient’ to safety on a stretcher.

A new image of the day’s activities showed Kate and William leading the way as they wheeled the ‘injured’ man across the grass, alongside several members of the rescue team.

The photo appears on the cover of Mountain Rescue magazine, featuring the Mountain Rescue England and Wales’ official account on Twitter (now known as X) shares a look at the photo.

“Having a royal patron is a huge honor and MR volunteers appreciate the support of @KensingtonRoyal HRH The Prince of Wales,” the image read.

It continued: ‘@CBMRT Central Beacons hosted a VIP visit recently – you may recognize a few people on the latest cover of MR Magazine.’

The post — shared over the weekend — also contained a link that allowed social media users to access the magazine.

For the outing, Kate opted for practicality and arrived at the center in a £600 red and black waterproof jacket from outdoor brand Mountain Equipment.

The practical jacket is often worn by Mountain Rescue Teams, as it has reflective panels to improve visibility in bad weather conditions.

In addition, Kate’s jacket also features a fully adjustable hood, laminated pockets and three layers to keep the wearer warm.

Kate then combined her jacket with a turtleneck and khaki skinny jeans from the Dutch brand G-Star RAW.

The royal family wore the £110 cargo pants last year on her trip to Belize and again earlier this year when she took part in battlefield injury training with the 1st Battalion Irish Guards.

The £110 slim-fitting trousers are made almost entirely of cotton and have large practical pockets on either side.

She was also pictured wearing a camo cap – which kept her long brown ponytail out of her face – and some dainty silver pendant earrings.

Kate completed her ensemble and then chose her favorite hiking boots. The £175 brown leather shoes, designed by outdoor brand Berghaus, have a lightweight sole that, according to the product description, gives ‘better flexibility’.

Kate and William visited the Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team as it celebrates its 60th anniversary this year.

William, Patron of Mountain Rescue England and Wales, and Kate had the opportunity to take part in training activities such as abseiling, medical support exercises and a search dog rescue demonstration.

The Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team is run entirely by volunteers and has been working since 1963 to keep the communities of Mid and South Wales safe.

The team responds to calls 24 hours a day, all year round and covers the central part of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park, which includes Pen y Fan, the highest point in the south of Britain, as well as Ystradfellte Falls, Cardiff, Newport and the Valleys. .

During their time with the team, the royal couple met with current volunteers to hear about their role and experiences in conducting rescues, alongside former team members from the organisation’s 60-year history.
