The royal trio attended to support their mental health campaign, Heads Together, which was the marathon’s official charity of the year. William, 34, Kate, 35, and Harry, 32, who all sported matching black zip-up jackets with the Heads Together logo, kicked off the event at the starting line by pushing a big red button. They cheered on more than 40,000 runners and jokingly honked horns while watching from a private mezzanine.

The group later headed to the sidelines of mile 22, where they interacted with tons of participants and handed out water to the thirsty runners. In one funny moment, William was accidentally squirted with water, but he laughed off the incident. Kate and Harry were both spotted donning giant blue foam fingers and high-fiving the runners.
