He put on a helmet and flight suit and landed a Sea King helicopter in the water. Then put the life jackets and paddled for all he was worth a dragon boat race.
This was not her grandmother's real journey - but it was a day of active fun for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and who ignored the rain and made the most of their time in the smallest province in the country on Monday.
With the crowd in Prince Edward Island seeing yours, William appeared to successfully run a mock emergency landing while piloting the Sea King in the water near the Dalvay By-The-Sea Cottage, slowly taxiing to along before taking off again.
In gray, rainy sky, William, who serves as search and rescue pilot in the Royal Air Force, manned by the controls of several landings, after trainer and co-pilot, Colonel Sam Michaud showed how was conducted in a first attempt, authorities said.
A crowd of about 2,400 guests, dressed in raincoats and sweaters, saw the plane from the lawn. Among the onlookers was Kate.
Formal training exercises are required to take an hour, so the Duke piloted the aircraft to landings of huge water several to become fully certified.
The "water bird" emergency landing procedure is commonly used by Canadian pilots in search and rescue missions.
Prince Edward Island has pulled all the stops to make the most of the international coverage of insatiable desire and Kate in red edges.
There was a crowd of 20,000 waiting near the provincial legislature for Will and Kate - dozens of whom camped overnight - when the couple were officially welcomed on Monday morning.
The meeting was howling in anticipation of the Duke when the indicator was deployed from the upper balcony, and then screamed even louder when the couple walked out the double wooden door, a moment later.
After waving and smiling to the crowd screaming briefly joined William and Kate PEI Premier Robert Ghiz on stage.
"It's a good time for Catherine and me to be here in Atlantic Canada, compared to Province House, where he forged the Canadian federation," said William told the crowd.
"Here in the crucible of Canadian nationality, we hope to meet many of you."
Ghiz welcomed royal newlyweds to the province and stressed the island's close relationship to the monarchy, until his namesake, Prince Edward Augustus, father of Queen Victoria. Before turning the microphone over to William, Duke Ghiz offered some marriage advice based on his own "five glorious years" of marriage to his wife, Dr. Kate Ellis Ghiz, who was with the Duchess on stage.
"HRH is very important to remember that Kates always right," said Ghiz.
He also invited the couple to return to Prince Edward Island 2014 to attend the 150th anniversary of the Charlottetown Conference, which helped spawn the Confederacy.
After the high-level meeting of the Sea King, the royal couple took part in a race head to the dragon's head.
The crew reached the top, and both royals seemed drenched efforts
Kate has apparently been looking forward to his visit to Prince Edward Island, because of what press reports say it is his childhood love of books in the red-haired orphan Anne of Green Gables.
After the speeches in the morning with a light rain spitting on a group apparently unconscious, the royal couple descended the stairs from the stage then split up to greet fans lining captivated barricades on both sides of the square.
Chelsea Willis, 19, and Sarah Devoe, 20, came to the Province House at 7 pmDomingo night, spend the night huddled in sleeping bags and living on McDonald's and Tim Hortons coffee, hoping a close encounter.
"You only see this once in their life," said Willis, perched on a camping chair behind a sign hanging from a reading of barricade, "Chelsea wants Will & Kate."
Vanlingen Cari, 54, had traveled from Halifax to claim its place alongside Willis and Devoe. Said a woman who lived nearby brought homemade cookies and jam the night Sunday night and then returned with new cinnamon buns in the early hours of Monday morning.
Asked about their motivation to camp overnight for a glimpse of Will and Kate, she sighed, her eyes bright.
"I've always looked like a fairy tale and I wanted to be the princess," he said. "Kate is amazing. She is so down-to-earth, not as "princessy" as I thought it would be. "
The wait was worth the night Willis, Devoe and Vanlingen, we all have to shake hands with William. Willis laughed, his eyes almost closed, with joy, as she gave the prince a small bouquet of flowers.
Vanlingen almost completely collapsed, waving his arms enthusiastically and compare notes with the other two women after William passed, and wiping away tears, a hand grabbed his chest, as the reality of the time with the prince set in.
After the ride - Kate sheltered from the rain hitting a huge black umbrella held by a staff member - the couple got into the Canadian state Landau, a carriage pulled by horses.
Kate and William went to the first Landau, followed by Ghiz and his wife, Kate Landau bent over to wipe the rain out of their seats for the couple PEI before sitting down. Then the car came down Great George Street, escorted by RCMP musical ride horses and taken to the port for the thousands of applause finally got their real time.
