Kate Middleton Plays Football for Pre-Olympics Kick-Off

Jul 26, 2012 - by Emily Draznik

Known for her ridiculously expensive wardrobe and famous royal husband, Kate Middleton was spotted a day before the Olympics kick-off kicking around some balls herself. Wearing a shockingly affordable $55 dress from Hobbs, Kate and Prince William played ping-pong, soccer and learned how to judo-chop during their visit to Bacon's College.

In a string of sports-related appearances leading up to the kickoff of the Olympics, Kate Middleton, Prince Harry and Prince William participated in various athletic activities to benefit the charity The Coach Core. The foundation trains 16-19 year olds to become coaches and mentors for young athletes. The aspiring coaches will be trained by mentors who are experts in their fields, thereby inspiring younger individuals to help develop a future in the sport.

While the Duchess of Cambridge's future in professional sports is questionable, we're all anticipating more royal antics as the Olympics develop. Royal sports team anyone?
