They both got behind the wheel for some off-road driving at a Land Rover test course. William steered, with Kate riding shotgun, over the rocky course before she took the wheel.
The Duke & Duchess both made it safely round the course.

William and Kate were presented with a selection of musical whistles for Prince George, 4, and Princess Charlotte, 2, at Acme Whistles, where the first police whistle was created. William, who has spoken about his "noisy son," thanked his hosts for the whistles but joked, "Don't show that to George. We'll never get any peace."
