The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were on hand for Sunday’s annual running of the London Marathon, where the couple was joined by Prince Harry to cheer on runners from the sidelines.
The royal trio attended the marathon as part of the promotional efforts for their mental health initiative, Heads Together, which is the official charity of this year’s London Marathon.

Prince William got more than he bargained for, however, when one particularly cheeky runner sprayed a bottle of water all over the prince as he passed by, taking him by surprise as Duchess Kate appeared to look on with disapproval at the runner’s splashy stunt.
