When you've grown up in the public eye with photographers following your every move, it perhaps becomes second nature to be at ease in front of the camera.
And so it proved for Prince William as he had wife Kate Middleton and the gathered throngs in hysterics on their latest Caribbean tour appearance.
During the couple's visit to Mayan ruins at Caracol in Belize, William was caught on camera joking about media battling it out for pictures of the in-demand royals.

The Express reports how with snappers surrounding the Duke and Duchess front and back as the pair took in the spectacular view from the top of a ruin, William was heard joking: "One side's getting cross with the other side. You're in each other's photos."
William and Kate were touring the ancient site, taking in Caana, or sky palace, which is the tallest man-made structure in Belize.
The duke visited Belize as a teenager in 2000 when he reportedly learned jungle survival skills with Welsh Guards who were receiving training from the British Army Training Support Unit as part of Exercise Native Trail.
William was beginning a gap year before university at the time when the then 18-year-old duke learned his A level results.
The current tour started in controversial circumstances with opposition from villagers in Belize who raised a range of issues, including objections to the Cambridges' helicopter landing site. It forced a royal trip to a farm on Sunday to be scrapped.
It was replaced with a visit to a chocolate producer before the royals travelled to the cultural centre of the Garifuna community in Hopkins.
The tour faces further protests with Jamaican campaigners accusing the Queen and her predecessors of perpetuating slavery.
A coalition of Jamaican politicians, business leaders, doctors and musicians have called in an open letter for the British monarchy to pay slavery reparations.
Part of the letter states: "We note with great concern your visit to our country Jamaica, during a period when we are still in the throes of a global pandemic and bracing for the full impact of another global crisis associated with the Russian/Ukraine war."
"We see no reason to celebrate 70 years of the ascension of your grandmother to the British throne because her leadership, and that of her predecessors, has perpetuated the greatest human rights tragedy in the history of humankind."
It is believed the group will stage a protest outside the British High Commission in Kingston on Tuesday with the royals due to arrive that day in Jamaica where they will stay until Thursday when they depart for the Bahamas.
William and Kate's last engagement on Monday saw the couple attend a reception hosted by the Governor General of Belize at the Maya ruins at Cahal Pech, near San Ignacio.
The special reception was held in celebration of the Queen's Platinum.
The Cambridges dressed in casual clothes on their visit to the ancient ruins on the third day of their Caribbean tour.
William and Kate wore khaki trousers as they travelled deep into the heartland of Belize.
On Sunday, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge danced "like nobody's business" to the delight of crowds in Belize. The couple also indulged their love of chocolate as they explored the Caribbean country.
Kate was first to move to the beat when the couple were treated to a welcome dance as they toured a village. She was soon followed by a shimmying William.
Event organiser Laura Cacho, 57, who danced with the future king, said of the couple: "They were shaking their waists like nobody's business."
The Duchess, dressed in a blue summer dress, was the first on the makeshift dancefloor, joining nine local school children at the Garifuna Cultural Centre in the beach-front village of Hopkins.
Her husband watched as she stole the show before he was tempted to join the performance dancing with Ms Cacho.
She said afterwards: "He shook his waist to the music. He had beautiful rhythm. It was a pleasure for me.
"Kate was excellent as well and definitely has Garifuna culture in her."
