Kensington Palace released a photo of the Duchess of Cambridge marking her first day on the job.

She described both organizations as “committed to harnessing the power that sport can have in bringing communities together and helping individuals flourish.”

“I look forward to working with them across all levels of the games, and to cheering England on in what promises to be an exciting year for both sports,” she continued.

Kate has long been known to love sports. She likes to play tennis and also has some rugby skills as she demonstrated during her 2017 trip to Paris.

“All eyes are on the television … we’re watching England play Ireland in the 1996 Five Nations Rugby tournament … Rugby was a big thing in our family, and the focal point was international matches …,” she continued.

Pippa added that their family will plan their weekends around the matches. Their father will be in a state of despair the entire afternoon if their team loses.
