Kate, who is patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, would normally have spent this weekend in the royal box at Centre Court, watching some of the world’s greatest players battling it out for the Wimbledon title. Unable to play tennis for around ten weeks, he stayed fit through cycling, revealing:"I was going out on my road bike which was something I've never done before, so that’s something kind of new that I learned I enjoy during lockdown. It's quite important in these times to stay as active as you can because it good for the mind as well.
"And Andy, have you got any tips for these guys if they want to take up tennis a bit more professionally?" asked the Duchess. "So missing Wimbledon this week is obviously a shame," he added."I've missed the travelling...missing seeing friends like everyone else. Family, I've not seen my mum and dad for a few months so I’m looking forward to seeing them again hopefully very soon.
She asked if they had missed doing lots of physical exercise during lockdown, adding:"It's really hard isn't it, to keep that self-motivation going. It's very impressive you've kept that training going."
