Princess Kate was captured on camera enjoying one of her favourite pastimes during a visit to the Caribbean in 2022 – and even the most dedicated fans would have struggled to recognise her.

Kate and William began their week-long visit to Belize, Jamaica and the Bahamas on 19 March of that year. The trip was designed to commemorate Queen Elizabeth’s Platinum Jubilee, celebrating 70 years on the throne.

And they were able to slip away unnoticed during the second day of their royal tour to enjoy a previously unannounced diving trip.

William and Kate, who are both experienced divers, went snorkelling and diving with 2021 Earthshot Prize Winner Coral Vita to better understand their project on farming and planting coral in the Bahamas.

In a video shared on their official social media pages and taken by photographer Matt Porteous, the royals were seen jumping off the back of a boat, swimming underwater, and giving each other the ‘okay’ hand signal, as they took in the local marine life.
