Kate Middleton Wins Spin Bike Contest Against Prince William — Despite Wearing a Skirt and Heels!
Kate Middleton and Prince William are known to get competitive on royal engagements — and their latest visit to Wales was no exception! The Prince and Princess of Wales visited South Wales on Tuesday ahead of the country's national day on Wednesday: the feast day for St. David, Wales' patron saint. After visiting the Aberavon Leisure & Fitness Centre, the couple received an enthusiastic welcome from a gathering of Welsh well-wishers, from posing for selfies to being handed daffodils. Princess Kate, who called the fitness center that supports a healthy lifestyle "brilliant," told a group that they watched some yoga and competed on spin bikes. "She told us she'd won, but that they'd felt sorry for her because she was in heels," Melissa Jones, who is the treasurer of the local swim club and was there with her 7-year-old son, Oscar, tells PEOPLE. Despite sporting a skirt and heeled boots, Princess Kate didn't pass up the opportunity to compete against her husband — after all, they're known for facing off while making cocktails, sailing in a charity race or playing ping-pong. For her victory in the 45-second race, the royal was awarded a small gold trophy as the winner of the "Tour de Aberavon."
