Princes William and Harry have been playing an impromptu game of football under the hot African sun.
Passions ran high when the royal brothers took to the field with a group of teenagers from an orphanage in the impoverished southern country of Lesotho.
Before the game began, Harry announced his intentions, saying: "I'm really looking forward to slide-tackling William."
The Princes, who will be in the Cape Town stadium to watch England's crucial World Cup match against Algeria on Friday, were on opposing teams.
Their fellow players were all teenage girls from the Semongkong Children's Centre, high up in the remote mountain settlement.
The running costs of the children's centre, which was founded by Briton Jill Kinsey in 2005 and is now run by her daughter, Tara Baanen and her husband Patrick, are funded by Sentebale - Harry's Lesotho-based charity for disadvantaged youngsters.
16-year-old Agnes Fobo, one of the players on Harry's team said of the Princes: "I think they are sent by God to come and see us. Without the centre I think I would be a street kid."
