The Team is racing against Recent Zealand for the “Commonwealth Race” that travels across the south coast of England. She raced with Olympian Sir Ben Ainslie, who she met on the London 2012 Olympics for the primary time.
The catamaran race includes a gaggle of young sailors who’re participating within the 1851 Trust, which was co-founded by Ainslie, and connects young folks to STEM and sustainability efforts through sporting events. Kate is one in every of the Trust’s royal patrons.
She’s also an avid sailor in her own right, and has even raced her husband, Prince William, throughout the King’s Cup in 2019. The couple has also been working on passing the love of sailing all the way down to their children, Prince George, 9, Princess Charlotte, 7, and Prince Louis, 4.
“They’re very much a family of sailors now,” a source told Vanity Fair. “Kate has at all times been a reliable sailor, and William’s pretty good too. They’ve enjoyed some wonderful time on the coast this summer sailing and showing the youngsters tips on how to steer and sail a ship.”
The youngsters love attending other kinds of sporting events with their family as well, and this weekend, Charlotte cheered on the Lionesses who’re competing within the Euro 2022 final at Wembley against Germany.
