Princess Charlotte shows her brothers how its done as she shoots arrows in cut off shorts

It might have been her five year old brother Prince Louis' first-ever official Royal engagement, but Princess Charlotte, 8, looked determined to show him how things should be done.

The Royal siblings joined their brother, Prince George, 9 – plus mum, Kate Middleton, and dad, William – helping to renovate a Scout Hut in Slough today, 8 May, as part of the Big Help Out.

Charlotte, wearing a pink jumper and cut-off jean shorts with white trainers, was seen picking up a plastic bow and arrow and focusing on her target before expertly firing her arrow at the target.

Incredibly, she scored a bullseye – maybe a sign that she has some of her mum's sporting prowess.

Kate herself recently spoke about how she squeezes in exercise, including trampolining with the children before school.

Prince George, who wore a navy coat with khaki trousers, also tried his hand at archery, with William on hand to give him some tips.

And determined not to be outdone, little Louis – sporting a blue and white striped polo shirt – also had a go, grimacing with concentration as he let go of the arrow.

He looked determined to make up for missing out on a night of musical excitement enjoyed by his brother and sister – who celebrated their grandad, King Charles' Coronation at the Windsor Castle concert – by also messing about in a digger.

Louis sat in his dad's lap as William moved the mechanical arm and grabbed a bucket full of soil before dumping it on a spoil heap.

Later the prince was given the task of filling a wheelbarrow with what looked like builders’ sand and he focused on the job, diligently shovelling the material before wheeling the barrow himself.

George was allowed to use a drill and concentrated as he worked making a hole in a piece of wood and Charlotte was spotted painting what appeared to be doors.

The event was another milestone for Louis, who has made a number of official public appearances including attending the Christmas Day service at Sandringham with his parents and siblings. It's thought this was his first official engagement.

The young Royals got a reward for their hard work, toasting marshmallows over a barbecue.

Across the country people have been encouraged to devote some free time on the Monday of the coronation bank holiday weekend for the Big Help Out, aimed at showcasing volunteering.

The event was a change from Sunday night’s star-studded coronation concert, where George and Charlotte waved Union flags, sang and sported glowing wristbands during the Windsor Castle event that featured global stars including Lionel Richie, Katie Perry and a host of celebrities from film, TV and theatre.

William and Kate looked relaxed after their late night, which ended with them hosting an after-show reception for some of those involved in the show and which was attended by the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and their daughter Lady Louise.

The duke paid a moving tribute to the King during the concert, telling his father: “Pa, we are all so proud of you.”
