Royal Couple: Duke and Duchess Pictured Sailing On The High Seas Of Portsmouth

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were spotted on the high seas of Portsmouth, UK, as they cheered on Sir Ben Ainslie‘s America’s Cup team to victory on Sunday.

According to Daily Mail, the royal couple, dressed in matching shirts of the Olympic Champion’s team, along with thousands of cheering spectators, supported Sir Ben’s Land Rover BAR team during the Portsmouth leg of the America’s Cup World Series (ACWS).

After taking their seats in the front of a catamaran, Prince William and Kate Middleton spent the afternoon enjoying a ride on the high-speed twin-engine vessel, which traveled at speeds in excess of 40 knots during the three races of the day.

The couple, Daily Mail reports, looked excited as they watched Sir Ben’s catamaran sail to victory in the final race. They returned to dry land after the race and presented the winner’s trophy and medals to Sir Ben and his team at the event village.
