Setting Sail

Kate the great takes to the water to cheer on Team GB's women's sailing crew to victory. Sadly, the duchess' presence didn't signal a win this time, as the British athletes had to settle for a fourth-place finish.

Pip, Pip, Cheer

Will, Kate and Harry make a surprise visit to Olympic Village to motivate the Team GB and Australian athletes. It must've done the trick: a short while later, the royal brothers cheered on the British women's rowing team to England's first gold medal of these Olympic games.

GREAT Kate

By day one of Team GB's greatest supporters, by night, well, still the same. But with more glamour. Kate took a brief break from her cheering duties to attend a Creative Industries reception for the government's GREAT campaign, undertaken to showcase Britain's excellence in culture, creativity, art and entertainment.

Cheer Squad

Real men wear spandex. And royal men, apparently, watch those spandex-wearing dudes compete. While making the Olympics cheer section rounds, Wills and Harry made a pit stop to support Team GB's men's artistic gymnastics competitors, cheering them on to a bronze team medal.

Going for Gold

Forget the claims of being born with a silver spoon, Queen Elizabeth II's granddaughter (and 14th in line to the throne) earned that silver medal all on her own. Well, maybe not entirely on her own—it was, after all, a second-place finish for the entire Team GB equestrian team, who gathered on the podium after having taken the hardware for the Eventing Team Jumping competition.

Posh & Sporty

Talk about a dynamic duo. The duke and the veritable football soccer royalty joined forces to cheer on England's squad in its first match of the London 2012 Olympics. Seemed to do the trick: The British boys beat their competition, trouncing the United Arab Emirates 3-1.

Opening Ceremonies

There was Bond, there was Bean, there were flying Mary Poppinses and there was a skydiving queen, and yet still, the camera seemed to pan to Will, Kate and Harry more often than not during Danny Boyle's magnificent ode to Britain.

Pong and Circumstance

Wills isn't the only one to show off his skills (or lack thereof); the ever-game Duchess of Cambridge also got in on the action while launching their charitable sporting initiative, mucking in for a ping-pong volley.
