CNN —Tennis royalty met British royalty at Wimbledon this month as Roger Federer and Catherine, Princess of Wales, met the tournament’s ball boys and girls, took part in their training, and played a game of doubles.
Kate even managed to win a point against the eight-time Wimbledon champion, hitting a passing shot while he was standing at the net.
As a royal patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, Kate is often seen watching the tennis from the Royal Box at Wimbledon, which this year begins on July 3.
At one point, however, Kate took an impressive one-handed catch, only to be told by Federer that ball girls and boys weren’t allowed to catch the ball at Wimbledon.
“You’re meant to let it bounce and then get it,” a ball girl standing next to her added.
