— The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (@KensingtonRoyal) January 17, 2018The Duchess of Cambridge joined groups of children from Bond Primary School in the school hall as they took part in a range of tennis-related sessions, including activities to improve hand-eye coordination and footwork. She heard from the children and teachers about the impact of the programme, and met a number of the coaches involved in engaging children with tennis in the local community.

Gosh, the Duchess is in such good form! Even though she’s pregnant, she’s playing with the kids as if nothing! She’s so lovely!
