Kate Middleton Shares Tennis Tips to High School Students in Edinburgh

Kate Middleton showed off her tennis skills and shared some tips to some schoolchildren in Edinburgh. The Duchess of Cambridge joined Andy Murray's mom, Judy, and other tennis coaches for a lesson on the sport.

Edinburgh News reported that Middleton joined Murray's training session at the Craigmount High School where she played with children from various schools in the city. The workshop aimed to teach tennis to young kids in the locality.

Middleton participated in the training and workshop from properly handling a racket to playing the sport. It was observed that she was a natural when holding a racket.

Murray also told Telegraph that Prince William's wife asked her when it would be perfect to allow a child to first hold a racket.

"She was talking about at what age can a child hold a racket. It's about strength. I was saying to her with children of George's age you start with a balloon and the hand," she added. "It is about doing he right thing at the right time."

Murray claimed that Middleton seemed very interested in how she can help her kids develop skills in tennis. "She had lots of questions during the session and many more after the session and that's a really good sign," added Murray.

But it seems that royal babies—Prince George and Princess Charlotte—will like tennis as a sport because they have a court in their home at Norfolk. Plus, their mom is a good player on the court.

The Duchess' visit to the school, as per Hello!, is just one of the many appearances she had in Scotland. It noted that she also visited the Wester Hailes Education Center where she interacted with children to boost their confidence and independence using art.

She also reached out to children who are dealing with mental health issues. Middleton coordinated with charity group Place2Be which services about 8,000 children in Scotland. The group provides mental and emotional support to young kids.
