William and Kate revisit first royal engagement together 15 years on

Prince William and Princess Kate drove a lifeboat down the Thames in London, as they met with RNLI staff and volunteer fundraisers.

It was a trip down memory lane for the couple, with their first official royal engagement taking place at an RNLI station in Anglesey in February 2011.

The Prince and Princess of Wales can be seen taking turns behind the wheel of the vessel, donned in RNLI life jackets, before enjoying pastries and a warm cup of tea with the organisation back on land.

In a post to Instagram on Thursday, 12 March, the royals wrote, "It was wonderful to meet the crews to hear firsthand about rescues on the river.”
