Kate Middleton, Prince William and Prince Harry Kick-Off Tour de France, Take in Wimbledon
Prince William, Kate Middleton, and Prince Harry all enjoyed the kick-off of the Tour de France, and the Duke and Duchess enjoyed themselves at Wimbledon later in the weekend. It was a busy but fun week for the royal couple who enjoy sports and being out among the public.
Kate, William, and Harry all attended the start of the Tour de France in Yorkshire and mingled with the public before Kate cut the ceremonial ribbon, officially starting the race.
Prince George was at home, Kate told a fan, and is "more interested in helicopters and anything with wheels." He would probably have popped the balloon one young fan was holding, so it was probably best he was home with his nanny. Kate also awarded the yellow jersey to the winner of the first stage of the Tour.

Kate and William stayed around to speak with Novak Djokovic, who beat Roger Federer in the men's final match. The tennis star thanked the royal couple for watching his match and spoke with Kate about her own tennis game. She explained that she was out of practice since having baby George to care for.
The royal couple enjoys playing against one another and are keen on the sport of tennis. It could be that William comes by his enjoyment naturally, since his mother, Princess Diana, often took him to Wimbledon with brother Harry.
