Will's fighting talk in race against Kate

THE Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are due to face off, putting their sailing skills to the test on competing America's Cup yachts.

Prince William and Kate will compete in opposing boats on Auckland Harbour on Friday, in an event free of the pomp and formality typically associated with the monarchy.

William told Prime Minister John Key at Government House on Thursday night he expected the race to be "a bit of healthy competition" - although he said he'd already been telling everyone he would win it.

The yachts will be manned by Emirates Team New Zealand crews, and the race is expected to last two hours.

Afterwards, the royal couple will take a spin in an amphibious car before jetting back to Wellington.

The royal trip has been marred by weather thus far, and Friday is no different, with fog and showers being forecast.

But MetService duty forecaster David Miller said the weather wouldn't be too bad.

"It'll be an improvement on what they've had in Wellington for the past few days."

Royal visit media manager Allen Walley said he couldn't comment on contingency plans, and a decision would be made on Friday.

But before all the high-adrenalin excitement, the duke and duchess will be greeted off the plane at Whenuapai military air base by Auckland Mayor Len Brown.

They'll then meet Royal New Zealand Air Force personnel and their families.

Little Prince George will again miss out on the action - he'll stay in the capital with his Spanish nanny, Maria Borrallo.
