The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Prince William and Kate Middleton, have rounded off the Coronation Weekend on a charitable note by volunteering with their children.

The royal couple visited the 3rd Upton Scout Group in Slough on Monday, a cause close to Kate’s heart as she is the joint president of the Scout Association.

The family joined the Scouts to renovate their Scout Hut, taking part in planting, sanding and painting.

Both Princess Kate, 41, and Prince William, 40, wore scouting scarves around their necks during the engagement.

Their children, Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, also joined in the fun.

Trending:

Prince Louis made his first official royal engagement, while Prince George used a drill to work on a project, and Princess Charlotte did some painting.

Prince Louis shoveled dirt into a wheelbarrow which he then moved to a new location, all on his own.

Prince William climbed into the control seat of a large digger as his children took turns sitting on his lap with the equipment.

The family then took turns at archery.

Kate looked like an expert as she took aim, after all, she’s tried it before.

During a 2016 visit to Bhutan, the royal shot a bow and arrow, while in a skirt and heels, no less.

But it was Princess Charlotte who hit a bullseye, says Matt Hyde, CEO of Scouts and co-founder of the Big Help Out.

Both George and Louis were pretty keen shots as well, and the princess is a pretty experienced archer as well by the look of it he continues.

The couple’s efforts contributed to the Big Help Out, a national volunteering initiative uniting thousands of organizations to create community change.

Prime Minister Rishi Sunak made May 8th a bank holiday in honor of King Charles and Queen Camilla’s coronation on Saturday, giving people across the UK a three-day weekend.

The public was invited to participate in the Big Help Out on the day off.

King Charles and Queen Camilla’s crowning ceremony was a major royal occasion, especially for the Wales family.

Prince George poignantly participated in the church service at Westminster Abbey with visible roles as the next two people in the line of succession to the throne.

The Prince of Wales paid homage to his father during the church service, stepping forward to pledge his loyalty and allegiance.

Meanwhile, Prince George adorably served as a page of honor to his grandfather.

After the crowning ceremony and carriage processions, Prince William, Princess Kate and all three of their children appeared on the balcony of Buckingham Palace with King Charles and Queen Camilla.

The royals gave a wave to the crowds of well-wishers who came to catch a glimpse of the banner moment, King Charles’ first balcony appearance as monarch as well as William and Kate’s first as the Prince and Princess of Wales.

Celebrations carried into Sunday at the coronation concert, broadcast live from Windsor Castle.

Lionel Ritchie, Katy Perry, Andrea Bocelli and more ignited the night with powerful performances, as iconic landmarks were illuminated across the UK.

Prince William and Princess Kate joined the festivities along with other members of the royal family.

Though Charles became king immediately upon the death of his mother Queen Elizabeth in September, his symbolic crowning significantly continued nearly a thousand years of royal tradition.

Kate was a brownie as a young girl alongside her sister, Pippa, who attended King Charles Coronation on Saturday with their brother and parents.

The royal became a patron of the organisation in 2012, helping to raise volunteer numbers, and has been a regular visitor to their troops since.
