Prince William beamed during a basketball match today as he emerges after Princess Kate's photo blunder.
The Prince of Wales was visiting WEST, a new OnSide Youth Zone, where he joined in a game of basketball.
WEST, which stands for 'Where Everyone Sticks Together', was created by local young people, and is staffed by skilled youth workers.
They aim to support young people from across West London to develop their skills and confidence.

As well as trying his hand at basketball, William attempted a game of snooker and decorating cookies with the local young people.
Prince William's appearance today comes as Princess Kate, 42, was at the centre of a social media storm following her photo blunder.
The Princess of Wales admitted to editing a family photograph which was shared on Mother's Day by Kensington Palace.
The backlash resulted in six international agencies issuing a "kill" notice on the photograph, recalling the image.

Kate took to X to explain the situation, writing: "Like many amateur photographers, I do occasionally experiment with editing.
"I wanted to express my apologies for any confusion the family photograph we shared yesterday caused.
"I hope everyone celebrating had a very happy Mother’s Day. C."
Prince William arrived at the Commonwealth Day service later that day and appeared to put the furore behind him.
