Prince William and Prince Louis drive excavator, more pictures from the Big Help Out
The British royal family is giving back following King Charles III's coronation at Westminster Abbey on Saturday.
Charles and other senior members of the monarchy encouraged citizens across the United Kingdom to volunteer on Monday in an event dubbed the Big Help Out.
Prince William and Princess Kate made it a family affair, bringing their children Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5, to the 3rd Upton Scouts Hut in Slough to help renovate the community center.
The Prince and Princess of Wales and their children were dressed casually for the occasion as they did an assortment of activities. With the exception of Charlotte, who wore a pink knitted sweater, the family coordinated in blue polo shirts of varying colors.
William allowed George and Louis to take turns sitting on his lap as he drove an excavator to distribute soil for a new garden.
Louis took on the big task of pushing a wheelbarrow of soil (with Kate's help).
All members of the royal family took turns practicing archery with plastic bows and arrows.
The children also grouped together to toast marshmallows over a grill fire.
William and Kate's little ones also participated in individual tasks with George operating a drill to do some woodwork and Charlotte staining a bench.
To wrap up their volunteer day, some members of the family left their painted handprints on a wall as part of a mural at the 3rd Upton Scouts Hut.
William and Kate's family day volunteering acted as a tribute to Charles and his love for public service.
More than eight million opportunities throughout the United Kingdom were set up on the Big Help Out app. According to Buckingham Palace, more than six million people planned to get involved.
The push to give back to communities from Charles is a welcome change in the U.K. as the nation continues struggling to deal with a cost-of-living crisis, budget cuts and a wave of strikes by public-sector workers.
While there was widespread respect for Queen Elizabeth II, as demonstrated by the tens of thousands of people who waited hours to file past her coffin after she died in September, there is no guarantee that reverence will transfer to her eldest son.
