The Duke of Cambridge pitches a tent blindfolded on trip in Wales

The Duke of Cambridge pitched a tent whilst blindfolded during his recent visit to Wales.
The 34-year-old royal joined three groups of children at Llanfoist Fawr Primary School in Monmouthshire on Wednesday (01.03.17) to launch the Prince William Award, which is run by SkillForce, and the star has been praised for his skill at putting up the equipment without looking.
One student named Keaton Oliver, 12, told Express.co.uk: "He [William] was really good to be honest. It was really exciting."
But William was "stitched-up" during his trip as he was the only one to be blindfolded during the exercise.
Ben Slade, the chief executive of SkillForce, which William is a patron of, said: "There aren’t many members of the Royal Family who’ve tried to pitch a tent blindfold. He was asking if he was the only one left with one on and if this was a stitch-up."
Prince William later visited six year old children at Bishopstone Primary School in Swindon where they build towers made of marshmallows and drinking straws, and Prince William – who has Prince George, three, and 21-month-old Princess Charlotte with his wife the Duchess of Cambridge – openly praised the pupils for their achievements throughout the day.
Speaking to the group, he said: "Very good.
"Look at that! Brilliant!
"Ta-da, look at that! Good job guys. Amazing."
And later he teamed up with eight to 11 year old children to play football.
William teamed up with the national education charity to put together the scheme, which is aimed at children aged between six and 14, to help them develop character, confidence and resilience in life situations.
Speaking at the event, he said: "I believe that an individual’s academic success, wellbeing and mental health depends not only on traditional qualifications, but on nurturing non-academic attributes like self-confidence, discipline and determination.
"It is not enough that someone is good at English and maths if they cannot withstand the pressures that life throws up.
"The ability for a child to develop character, courage and resilience to overcome setbacks is something about which I care deeply. Over the years I have seen, time and again, how the development of personal skills puts a young person in better stead for education, future employment and for life."
