Boxing, horse riding and meeting therapy poodles - what the royals have been up to today
Share:
It's been a busy day for some senior royals as they took part in different activities both in the UK and abroad - including a bit of boxing for the Prince of Wales. William, 42, appeared to be enjoying himself as he donned a pair of gloves and had a go at boxing while visiting Centrepoint - a charity supporting young homeless people in London.
During the event, he met some of those being supported by the charity in Ealing, west London. This year marks the 20th anniversary of William being a patron of Centrepoint, which provides beds for young people - aged 16 to 25 - who experiencing homelessness.
The charity also provides support services such as employment opportunities, access to education and counselling to help users build an independent future.

Meeting therapy dog Fenton seemed to be a highlight of the visit for Camilla, 77, who, much like the late Queen, loves dogs. Camilla praised the hospital for its service to the community in Wiltshire and described her personal link to it, saying her grandchildren had been treated there on several occasions.
She spent time with staff and patients in the newly refurbished department and met four-year-old Jackson James, who was with his mother, Jade, and using the infant feeding room within the children's emergency unit. Camilla said: "I was thinking about it, and I probably haven't been inside this hospital for 47 years - since I had my daughter, so that was a few years ago.
