Upon seeing footage of Kate and William getting involved with the sports at today’s engagement, many a royal fan took to social media to gush over them.

“I love this engagement!!! Pretty fun to watch,” another said.
“Prince William always ready to have a go. Love it,” a third tweeted.

Former secretary makes a touching remark about Kate
In other Kate-related news, a former secretary had some positive things to say about the Princess of Wales.
Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton was Prince William’s private secretary between 2005 and 2013.
“She is a matriarch. Not in the sense of an older woman in a twin set and pearls, but she guides the family and advises [William] when he wants it,” he told People magazine.
He then said that he thinks Kate will take on the title of Princess of Wales with “humility”.
It is believed that she appreciates the history associated with the role but wants to “look to the future” and forge her own path with it.
“She will do so with humility and by acknowledging the past but in her own way,” Jamie said.
