Prince William and Kate Middleton have been dressed to impress on their royal tour of the Caribbean. From exploring Mayan ruins in Caracol to boogieing with locals - who endured the Duke’s dad dancing! - they’ve been well looked after in Belize.

But life’s luxuries were soon swapped for survival as the Cambridges stepped into the jungle for a military masterclass.The pair learnt to sharpen hunting spears, catch turkeys and fashion a bamboo tree for shelter during the crash course.

It’s not the first time William has set foot in the jungle - aged 18 he spent the summer there sleeping rough with 150 soldiers.

In the year 2000, then-teenage William flew to Central America from Balmoral to join the Welsh Guards in training.The young prince joined fellow troops in the humid conditions, using a hammock between two trees to sleep in at night.
