Can someone please give these young royals an Olympic MVP award already?

Prince William, Kate Middleton and Prince Harry have been tirelessly shuttling around town to support Team GB's athletes, going everywhere from land to sea in an impressive display of morale-boosting!

Tuesday offered yet more royal-watching ops, as Kate and Harry continued to pack their busy Olympics calendars.

(The Duke of Cambridge, however, was MIA today—even workhorse blue bloods need a break every now and then, yes?)

Hot off a jam-packed slate that saw her meet with the U.S. women's gymnastics team Sunday and then give big-ups GB's sailing team Monday, Middleton dialed things down a notch today. She was spotted walking around London in between events, sporting trippy red sneakers and looking relaxed and cheerful—a welcome break from her other nail-biting appearances.

Harry, meanwhile, was in full-on cheering mode, as he hit the Velodrome to watch cyclist Chris Hoy.

The redheaded royal certainly didn't hold back, pulling out all the stops as he whooped for his fellow Brit.

Perhaps that did the trick: The cyclist made history by winning his sixth Olympic medal and becoming Britain's most decorated Olympian ever.

Talk about spinning gold!
