The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are certainly getting into the Olympic spirit and couldn’t contain their excitement when Britain took out gold in the cycling event.

In a rare display of public affection, Wills and Kate embraced and cheered as they watched the British men's cycling team break a world record in their qualifying round and go on to win gold.

Joined by Prince Harry and Sophie, Countess of Wessex, the young royals spent the afternoon at the velodrome enjoying the fun, and even took part in a Mexican wave with the crowd, which included British Prime Minister David Cameron.
