William and Kate join children on island nature trail in Mull

The Prince and Princess of Wales are spending their second and final day on the Isle of Mull with children taking part in an outdoor learning session with forest rangers.

William and Catherine celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary on Tuesday as they began an official visit to the island off the west coast of Scotland.

Their final day of the mini-tour will focus on the natural world, which Catherine has previously described as her family’s “sanctuary”.

The couple have visited the Ardura Community Forest, which plays a vital role in protecting the biodiversity of the island.

Their Royal Foundation is funding the ranger service here – an injection of cash that will ensure its survival.

Under the canopy of trees alongside a stream, the royal couple met local families who bring their children to the forest for outdoor learning.

The princess proved a big draw for the nursery age children.

Four-year-old Rosie-Mae gripped the princess’s hand tightly during the visit, guiding her through what forest schooling offers. She told the princess that she had a dream about her last night.

Rosie’s Mum, Sally Maccoll, knew her daughter was keen to be involved.

“She’s obsessed with Princess Kate so as soon as Kate came walking down I felt her grab my arm and she was like – she’s here, there’s a real-life princess,” she said.

“She dragged Kate around, down to the river and they threw some sticks in. I kept my distance and let her do her thing. She is a very confident young lady. It was really special, she’ll remember it for a long time.”

For the royal couple, but the princess in particular, this part of the visit has been especially meaningful.

Since her cancer treatment, she has spoken repeatedly about how being outdoors and engaging with nature helped her through a difficult year.

And wherever Prince William goes,it seems football makes an appearance.

One of the dads here wore an Aston Villa shirt – a surefire way to get the attention of William who is a committed Villa fan.

The visit aims to highlight the importance of protecting and championing the natural environment.

Afterwards, William and Catherine will spend private time on Iona after taking the public ferry from Mull.

The couple released a romantic image on their social media accounts on Tuesday evening to mark their 14th anniversary.

They were married at Westminster Abbey on 29 April 2011, when tens of thousands of people lining the streets for their wedding procession to Buckingham Palace.

The Duke and Duchess of Rothesay, as they are officially known when in Scotland, met while studying at the University of St Andrews.
