Prince William and Princess Kate Hand-Delivered 22 Pizzas to Rescue Volunteers

Prince William and Princess Kate surprised members of the Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team with a personal delivery of 22 pizza pies.

The Prince and Princess of Wales hand-delivered the boxed goodies at the the Dowlais Rugby Club, where they mingled with volunteers after spending the morning participating in the team's training exercises.

For the laidback outing, Kate gave a rare look at her casual attire by wearing a pair of black skinny cargo pants, a forest-green turtleneck sweater, an olive collared zip-up jacket, and dark brown hiking boots. William's outfit was similarly pared down; the royal wore a light blue collared button-up, a black puffer jacket, gray trousers, and brown boots.

While waiting for the pizza at a nearby food truck, the couple was photographed in the midst of a rare display of PDA, with Kate holding her hand up to William's back.

According to People, the couple ordered 22 pies, which included pepperoni, margherita, barbecue chicken, and goat cheese.

Peter Morris, owner of the Little Dragon Pizza Van, reflected on serving the royals.

"The Princess asked if we make our own dough—and said that they love making pizzas with their children," he told People. "Making pizza for the future king and queen is surreal."

The Central Beacons Mountain Rescue Team, which is currently celebrating its 60th anniversary this year, is run entirely by volunteers who respond to emergency calls 24 hours a day, year-round. It's also a cause that is close to William's heart (the prince is the royal patron of Mountain Rescue England and Wales, and he is known to have worked with such teams during his days as an air ambulance pilot).
