The Prince and Princess of Wales will visit Birmingham this week to meet with leaders in the creative and arts industries.

Prince William, 40, and Kate, 41, will host a reception at The Rectory restaurant in the city’s Jewellery Quarter, with some special guests invited to attend.

During the reception the royal couple will speak to business owners about setting up their enterprises in the West Midlands city.

And the parents-of-three, who are known for being hugely competitive, are also set to take part in a game of interactive darts during their visit.

They will join in the game at the 180 Club before greeting members of the public outside.

Kate, 41, and William, 40, are no strangers to a public head-to-head as they have faced off against each other during royal engagements in the past.

In February, the Princess of Wales showed up her husband on a visit to a fitness centre in Port Talbot, Wales, when she beat him in a racing contest during a spin class.

After the 45-second race – in which the mother-of-three even asked if she could turn the bike’s resistance up and ‘make it harder’ – a shocked princess was declared the winner of the ‘Tour de Aberavon’ and handed a small trophy.

The virtual endurance race challenged Kate and William to see who could cycle the furthest in just 45 seconds while riding uphill in the Italian mountains.

Entering the cycling room, William apologised to the cyclists and said: ‘Sorry for ruining your spin class,’ while before climbing onto his bike, the prince joked to his wife: ‘You have got high heels on.’

The princess admitted: ‘Not sure I am dressed for this,’ while during the race, Kate adjusted the gears and laughed: ‘Can I make it harder?’

After finishing, William, who was breathing deeply, joked: ‘Talk to you in a minute.’

The Prince and Princess of Wales’s visit will be the couple’s first after taking some time out from royal engagements during the Easter holidays.

While Prince George, nine, Princess Charlotte, seven and Prince Louis were off school for the half term break, the family enjoyed some quality time together.

The royals made an appearance at St George’s Chapel in Windsor for the Easter Sunday service, where Prince Louis made his first appearance at the event.
