The Prince and Princess of Wales made a stylish appearance at the Copper Box Arena in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in East London on Thursday.

The royal couple attended an event to support Coach Corps, a program that celebrates its 10th anniversary.

Coach Corps focuses on training young individuals to become coaches and nurturing the next generation of athletes.

In 2012, Prince William, Princess Catherine, and Prince Harry founded Coach Corps as part of the Royal Foundation.

This sporting initiative was established in response to the London riots and aimed to embody the spirit of the Olympic and Paralympic Games held in London.

Over the past decade, Coach Corps has helped more than 750 underprivileged young people kickstart meaningful careers through sports coaching apprenticeships.

The organization has garnered support from notable sports ambassadors such as England lionesses and Manchester City captain Stephen Houghton, six-times Olympic medallist Max Whitlock, and tennis icon Judy Murray.

These influential figures have actively contributed to the success of Coach Corps and its mission to empower disadvantaged youth through sports.

During the outing, Princess Catherine exuded sophistication in a royal blue wool blazer with black detailing.

She paired it with black trousers and simple black heels, showcasing her impeccable fashion sense.

Prince William, on the other hand, opted for a dark blue suit complemented by a light blue shirt.

As the couple arrived, Princess Catherine made a sweet gesture towards Prince William, gently rubbing his back while they waved to onlookers.

This display of affection showed the strong bond between the royal couple.

They later proceeded to shake hands with the charity’s officials and engaged with several young individuals associated with the organization.

Gary Laybourne, CEO of Coach Corps, was also present at the event.

Throughout the years, Prince William and Princess Catherine have been actively involved in the charity’s activities.

In 2020, despite the challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic, they reopened the Coach Corps Awards to celebrate the group’s achievements.

Prince William expressed his pride in the apprentices’ resilience and adaptability during such trying times.

This is not the first time the royal couple has engaged with Coach Corps.

In 2018, they visited the South Essex Gymnastics Club, where they participated in a game of tennis and boccia, with Princess Catherine even competing in heels.

The previous year, Princess Catherine visited the Aston Villa Football Club to witness Coach Corps in action.

She was joined by Prince William and Prince Harry at the organization’s annual awards ceremony.

Earlier today, Prince William presented Sergeant Emma Probett, the Prince of Wales’ loyal bodyguard, with a Royal Distinction.

Sergeant Probett, who joined Catherine’s Royal Protection Unit in 2010, was honored with the induction into the Royal Victorian Order on last year’s Queen’s Birthday Honors List.

This prestigious title is bestowed upon individuals who have rendered distinguished service to the monarch.

Emma Probett has accompanied the Princess of Wales on numerous royal engagements since her marriage to Prince William in 2011.

Prior to joining Catherine’s team, she was responsible for the security of Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie.

Known for her discreet presence, Sergeant Probett is trained in martial arts and carries a 9mm Glock pistol and a Taser stun gun at all times when with the royals.

She is also believed to wear a stab vest while on duty.

In a separate event, the Prince of Wales recently held a video chat with Boston Mayor Michelle Wu.

They discussed the upcoming December Earthshot Prize Awards, which aims to find solutions to the world’s climate challenges.

Prince William and Princess Catherine were initially scheduled to attend the summit last month but had to cancel due to the passing of Queen Elizabeth.

However, Prince William assured the attendees that he would attend the ceremony at the end of the year, expressing his admiration for their enthusiasm and commitment to the Earthshot Prize.

The royal couple’s involvement in Coach Corps and their dedication to environmental causes reflect their ongoing commitment to making a positive impact on society.

Their support and participation in such initiatives inspire and motivate the next generation of athletes, coaches, and environmental pioneers.
