Conviviality and mutual aid were the key words of this third - and last - day of the coronation. Called the "Big Help Out", this Monday, May 8 was dedicated, as is customary, to good volunteer actions. Kate Middleton, Prince William and their three children - George, Charlotte and Louis - chose to go to the Boy Scouts in Slough, Berkshire, to help renovate a camp. On the program, nevertheless: archery, painting, backhoe ride and taste marshmallows.

Painting and DIY
Equipped with a two-tone scarf tied around their necks, the princely family went completely unnoticed among dozens of children and scout leaders. All day, every Cambridge pitched in with great will. Like Prince Louis, who was seen carrying a wheelbarrow full of sand and even driving an excavator, sitting on his father's lap. George showed talent at archery, while Princess Charlotte also helped paint wooden furniture.
Once the work was done, the Prince and Princess of Wales had fun toasting marshmallows, before playing the group photo game with the camp members and their children. "They were very good at archery and seemed to be really having fun," commented one of the people present, in the columns of the Daily Mail.

First official commitment
If Kate Middleton was particularly comfortable, having herself been a scout during her childhood, this official commitment especially marked the first of little Prince Louis. Indeed, the boy has already accompanied his family several times during royal outings - he was seen on Saturday at Westminster Abbey for the coronation of Charles III. However, he had never kept a commitment before. That has been done.
