The Princess of Wales took to a canoe again in 2019, during a visit to Northern Ireland, showing her sporting prowess as part of a canoeing team.

Princess Kate is the only royal known to be a seasoned canoer, making her quite the trailblazer, which we're sure her young son will want to copy. Prince Edward and his wife, Sophie Wessex have been spotted in a canoe too, though they were enjoying the ride rather than using oars themselves!
