If looks could kill . . . Kate is not amused as marathon wag f lings water at her and Wills
PRINCE William learned the perils of manning a water station at the London Marathon yesterday.
And by the look on her face, Kate didn’t appear too pleased either.
The Duke of Cambridge was jokingly splashed with water by a runner who had stopped to grab a bottle off him at the 22-mile stage.
The water also hit Kate’s fleece, and she paused to whisper to her husband. Smiling William, Kate and Harry were on the streets for the 26-mile run as their Heads Together organisation was the race’s official charity this year.
The royal trio wanted to make this year the ‘mental health marathon’ as part of their campaign to encourage people to talk more about issues such as depression and anxiety. A record 40,000 runners took part in the race, urged on by about 800,000 well-wishers. There were also record numbers of police, with Scotland Yard taking no chances just a month after the Westminster terror attack. Steel road barriers straddled the entrances to key roads along the route, amid heightened concern of a vehicle-based assault.
