Kate and Prince William do their homework! Royals QUIZZED on Commonwealth before games
KATE and Prince William will be grilled on their knowledge of the Commonwealth during a lunch today to celebrate the Queen’s family of nations in what is likely to be among the last official engagements carried out before the royal baby arrives.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will take part in a Commonwealth quiz alongside athletes, coaches and supporters before Britain’s teams of athletes head to Sydney for this year’s games.
Kate shows no signs of slowing down just weeks before she is due to give birth to her third child in April and was out in London yesterday to visit the Royal Society of Medicine.
And the busy week of engagements will continue for Kate today when she heads out with her husband William, where the pair will begin their day at the Olympic Park’s Copper Box arena in Stratford, East London.
The event will be staged by SportsAid, a national charity helping the next generation of Olympic, Paralympic and Commonwealth champions.
The couple will also watch a wheelchair basketball session and meet the players, some of whom hope to compete in the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, and be shown a media training session for young athletes.
Every year SportsAid supports more than 1,000 athletes – the vast majority aged 12-18 – by providing a financial award to help with training and competition costs. The charity also helps develop other vital skills for professional athletes by providing media training, nutritional advice and performance lifestyle guidance.
Later at St Luke’s Community Centre near Clerkenwell, William and Kate will help locals and volunteers put the finishing touches to a meal that is being prepared for this year’s Commonwealth Big Lunch.
The Big Lunch project aims to encourage as many people as possible to sit down to a meal with members of their community once a year.
Commonwealth Big Lunches are part of the official celebrations leading up to the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) being staged in London and Windsor Castle next month.
In the centre’s cafe William and Kate will be given a briefing on the work of St Luke’s which provides services and activities, has a range of facilities including a fully equipped cookery school and runs community classes on healthy home cooking and
avoiding food waste.
The couple will also take part in a recipe workshop and discussion in the kitchen with locals, who regularly chat about their favourite dishes and what inspires them to make them.
