Prince William, Kate and Prince Harry were joined by world's fastest man Usain Bolt as they visited athletes competing in the Commonwealth Games.

The Royal trio and the Jamaican sprint star chatted and posed for photographs in the athletes' village in Glasgow as hundreds of people gathered to catch a glimpse of the visitors.

William, Kate and Harry also played ball games with school children after meeting some of the host nation's medal winners at Team Scotland's accommodation.

They were joined on their tour of the site by the country's most successful Olympian Sir Chris Hoy, who is also chieftain of the village.

Their visit comes the day after they joined thousands of spectators at the Games, taking in gymnastics, boxing, hockey and swimming.

After arriving at the village in the east end of the city today, they met Scottish judo gold medal winner Chris Sherrington and swimmers Ross Murdoch and Erraid Davies.

They were then given a tour of the recreation facilities for the athletes, where William played video games with some of the Welsh women's hockey team.

All three moved on to the village green where they heard a performance of the Games' anthem for Unicef from a group of local school children.

They then joined in the ball games traditionally played in countries from across the Commonwealth.

Kate listened as one of the children explained the rules of a game which includes knocking down three tins with a ball before running in to the middle of the square, rebuilding them and hopping over the tins three times.

She cheered as she knocked the tins over and looked up and smiled after completing the task in her high wedges.

The brothers later faced each other in opposing teams as they played the same game.

Bolt, who will run in the 4x100 metres relay at the Games, chatted with Harry first as he arrived at the green where the young royals posed for photographs with the children from nine local schools.

Harry then posed for a photo with the athlete as Bolt said he would be posting the image on his Twitter page.

William approached the track superstar, joking as he greeted him: "What's all the fuss about?"

The three royals and the Olympic champion chatted and laughed together before a group photo was taken in which they were joined by cycling hero Sir Chris.

Earlier, Sir Chris met the royal visitors as they arrived at the village's Scotland Street to be given a tour of one of the houses where the Scottish team are staying.

The six-time Olympic champion and William talked about how they were enjoying the Games, as Kate chatted with his wife Sarra.

After seeing the accommodation, they met Royal Marine Sherrington, who won gold in judo earlier this week.

Also in the line-up was Scotland's Murdoch, who has won gold and bronze in the pool, and 13-year-old swimmer Davies, who made history this week by becoming the youngest winner of a Commonwealth Games medal when she won bronze.

Speaking after meeting the royals, Sherrington, who was wearing his green beret, said: "That was absolutely fantastic. Obviously two armed forces personnel as well.

"There's that sort of self-knowing sort of respect you get because we've been there and when I asked them if they were missing it they both sort of gave me a wink.

"William said he didn't fancy the judo. Kate said to him 'do you fancy some judo' and he said 'no, not with this big man'.

"Maybe he'd been saying something to her like 'I could do that', maybe something along those lines'."

Harry inspected Sherrington's gold medal, lifting it up to get a better look as the pair chatted.

Kate and William said congratulations to the medal winners who were also introduced to Sir Chris.

As they prepared to meet the royals, swimmer Murdoch was on hand to lend his team-mate Davies a bronze medal after the Shetland schoolgirl admitted she'd left hers in her room.

Murdoch, who won gold in the 200m breaststroke and bronze in the 100m breaststroke, said: "I feel quite honoured to have the princes there and especially to have Chris Hoy come up and have a word with me.

"It's one of those things I didn't think would happen and I enjoyed that.

"They said they had watched me on the TV and said well done. They said they'd enjoyed the race and seeing the shock and surprise when I won."

Davies, who won bronze in the women's para-sport 100 metres breaststroke SB9 said: "They said congratulations, they were really nice and Kate said she'd watched the race."
