"After doing a few practice lunge motions, Catherine appeared apprehensive to take to the ice and told her husband: 'You can go first.'

'Are you sure?' He replied. 'It won't make a difference.'

But he confidently took a stone and bent down into position, saying 'here we go, let's see what happens' as he slid off.

Laughing, William said, 'It's not going very fast,' but silver medallist Mouat reassured him that you usually have sweepers to help a stone reach the house - the target at the end of the ice strip.

Catherine then tentatively took to the 45-metre long sheet, holding onto her husband's right arm as she carefully stepped onto the ice.

Hoisting her long skirt up and tucking her hair behind her ear, the princess got into position.

Appearing increasingly nervous to spring off, William told her: 'Just lean on both Catherine,' in reference to the red stone and the delivery stick, used for beginners to help steady themselves.

She then pushed off but immediately lost her balance. Laughing, she quickly regained control but in the commotion forgot to let go of the stone.

'Come on,' she said, having only managed to go a few metres in front of the starting point, before pushing the stone forward.

Keen to correct her mistake, she asked if she could have another go, and was delighted to be told by Nigel Holl, executive performance director from British curling, that they would now be going head to head.

With the help of two sweepers each, the future king and queen were challenged to get closest to the button, the centre of the house.

'No pressure guys,' the prince said, laughing.

William started confidently, with the princess saying: 'You're doing very well' as it finished on the outer blue ring.

'Good sweeping,' the prince told Rebecca Morrison and Grant Hardie, who used brooms to increase the stone's speed.

Clarifying how to push off properly, Catherine got into position, clearly determined to do better than her husband.

Having managed to successfully throw the stone, she looked on anxiously as it was swept.

'Come on, come on, keep going,' she said as it approached the house.

When it stopped right in the middle, Catherine high-fived Dodds, who was part of the gold medal winning team at the last Winter Olympics, and celebrated with a fist pump in the air."
