Partaking in the favourite local past-time, the Duke and Duchess attended an NBA game between the Brooklyn Nets and the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.

The royal couple were taken by surprise though when they were featured on the big screen at the game. William noticed first, pointing it out to Catherine who giggled and gave the camera a wave!

Kate teamed this with black skinny-leg jeans and her favourite black pumps.

The game follows an eventful day for the couple in their whirlwind tour of the States, as Prince William met with President Obama at the White House while Duchess Catherine met with children in Harlem.

Prior to the game, William and Catherine met Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her daughter Chelsea at a reception celebrating the combined work of their Chelsea foundation and William and Catherine’s Royal foundation.
