- Prince George and Charlotte have been spotted mastering the skills of sailing during their family holiday in Norfolk.

Prince George and Princess Charlotte have been seen getting to grips with a tricky watersport amid a family holiday.
There are plenty of activities to do with children over the summer holidays and the young Cambridge kids were spotted with their parents Prince William and Kate Middleton sailing a small boat off the north of the Norfolk coast.
Prince George and Princess Charlotte were also joined by their younger brother Prince Louis and an onlooker described how the young royals were "good swimmers".
According to the local eyewitness, Kate was giving her children a lesson in sailing - a skill which the Duchess previously revealed during a Royal Tour of Canada back in 2016.
Onlookers told Vanity Fair, "They are very much a family of sailors now. Kate has always been a competent sailor and William’s pretty good too.
"They have enjoyed some wonderful time on the coast this summer sailing and showing the children how to steer and sail a boat."

It's not the first time that Prince George has taken to the sea, back in 2019 he was pictured enjoying a boat ride dressed in a sailor's hat for the annual King's Cup Regatta. And it was here that he was spotted doing something naughty.
The local source continued, "They love the water and the two eldest are good swimmers and had no qualms about jumping into the sea even if it was a bit fresh.
"The kids were all running in and out of the water with their dog and spent hours playing in the sand.
"They are clearly a family that love being outdoors and in nature.
"It was lovely to see them playing so freely and not being bothered by anyone."
Princess Charlotte was recently pictured taking part in the Big Butterfly Count.
Meanwhile, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have previously shown they are fearless when it comes to watersports, as they went head to head back in 2014 taking part in a New Zealand yacht race in which Kate won William. And most recently, Kate and William were all smiles as they took part in land yachting during a visit to St Andrews, Scotland.

And during their recent family sailing trip, the source went on claiming George, Louis and Charlotte wore life jackets while at sea.
But they were happy to ditch wetsuits for bathing suits whenever they jumped in the water.
