Prince William and Kate's Mull anniversary trip day two as they meet with local schoolchildren
Prince William and Kate Middleton are continuing their Scottish anniversary adventure on the Isle of Mull.
The future King and Queen are marking 14 years married by exploring the island and honouring rural communities and kicked off their second day in Mull by engaging with nature.
They met with countryside rangers from the Mull and Iona Ranger Service at the Ardura Community Forest on Wednesday morning to highlight the importance of protecting and championing the natural environment.
The Community Forest regularly partner with local primary schools to ensure that every child on the islands get the opportunity to experience the beautiful natural environment around them.
In pictures from the meeting, Kate beams with glee whilst dressed casually in jeans, boots and a blazer as the royal couple spent the second day on the island with schoolchildren taking part in an outdoor learning session tracking animals and building dens.
In other snaps Kate is seen talking to the children during the session and even giving one young girl a high five.
Kate also appears to be showing off a new hair-do as her luscious brown locks seem to have some new caramel highlights.
Yesterday, William and Kate celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary on the island and to mark the occasion they released a sweet snap on their social media accounts.
The pair were pictured with their arms around each other facing out to sea on the shoreline.
The picture was posted on the couple's official social media accounts with a heart emoji and signed with their initials. It said: 'Wonderful to be back on the Isle of Mull. Thank you to everyone for such a warm welcome W & C.'
The couple are thought to be staying in a self-catering cottage on the island and on Monday, they signalled their excitement to be visiting Mull with an official post on their Instagram page which read: "Looking forward to arriving in Mull tomorrow for two days celebrating and connecting with rural island communities in the beautiful Inner Hebrides."
Having been together for over two decades, William and Kate's love story began at the University of St Andrews in Fife, Scotland. Their friendship blossomed into romance, leading to their grand nuptials at Westminster Abbey on April 29, 2011, where the aisle of the iconic Gothic church was adorned with trees.
The couple welcomed their first child, Prince George, in 2013, followed by Princess Charlotte in 2015 and Prince Louis in 2018. Despite Kate's battle with cancer, their bond remains unbroken.
William shares a unique connection with the Isle of Mull, as it forms part of the lands once governed by the Lord of the Isles, one of several Scottish titles he inherited from his father when Charles ascended the throne.
