Jolly Hockey Sticks, Kate!

Kate bangs one into the back of the net for team GB

So, maybe the rest of the royal family are taking tips from Prince Harry after all?

Sporting engagements were a big part of Harry’s recently-concluded world tour, and today, it was the Duchess of Cambridge’s turn to take to the field of play. Kate was famously sporty at school and university, and was captain of her school hockey team. The 30-year old royal revisited that childhood passion today, proving that she has lost none of her sporting prowess when she scored a goal playing hockey with the British Olympic women’s team.

She arrived at the Olympic stadium in London wearing tight red skinny jeans (the make was not confirmed by the Palace but they look like j-brand) a black top, heels and her hair loose. She kept the jeans on for her knockabout, but changed her heels for sneakers and slipped into a grey team GB fleece.
