These days, Kate Middleton needs to take it easy, so it’s unlikely she’ll be spotted at the 2024 Paris Olympics.
Which is a shame, because she LOVES the games!
Case in point: when the Summer Olympic games were held in London in 2012, Kate Middleton was EVERYWHERE! She was in the stands for gymnastics, she was meeting with Gold medal winners from the U.K. – she even got on the field during field hockey!
Looking back at these photos of Kate just reminds those who love her how vibrant and down to Earth she can be. And who knows? Maybe she’s even birthed the next royal to compete in the games! (Queen Elizabeth II’s granddaughter, Zara Tindall, took a silver medal in the team eventing equestrian class during the London 2012 games.)
Let’s look back at her time enjoying the Olympic games over the years.
