George appeared to have enjoyed a summer growth spurt before beginning his studies at Eton College, standing almost shoulder-to-shoulder with his father in jeans and a gray polo shirt. Kate highlighted her sporty style in a baseball cap and brown puffer jacket, while William coordinated with a brown pullover sweater.

William and Kate, both 44, added that they were “incredibly proud to support the extraordinary volunteers who respond in all conditions, often at a moment’s notice, to help others when they need it most.” They concluded their message by thanking “everyone across the mountain rescue community” for their “unwavering commitment, courage and service.”
