Informative Caption tells us that Kate "visited the LTA, the national governing body of tennis, where she was briefed on the organization's latest activities and objectives, and had the opportunity to watch a number of tennis demonstrations at the National Tennis Centre's on-court facilities." But I like to think that here she's is holding a High Five workshop." "Yes, really REACH for my hand! Smack it with ENTHUSIASM! Look at my elbow, you'll never miss. GREAT WORK, NIGEL!"

Here, she's saying (what seems to be a VERY enthusiastic) hello to Martin Corrie (the Lawn Tennis Association president) and their director of HR, Vicky Williams. I assume she's angling to get some sweet employee-discounted tickets for the early rounds of Wimbledon. (The woman in purple lurking behind her purposefully is her new private secretary, Catherine Quinn. She looks like a person who knows what the hell she's doing and so should she, since she was previously head of Oxford's business school.)

Kate always seems most comfortable in a jaunty ponytail. I've decided that she's already sick of her current haircut and is growing it out again. (GROW IT OUT AGAIN KATE.)

The Duchess of Cambridge visits the Lawn Tennis Association in Roehampton, United Kingdom - 31 Oct 2017
Britain's Catherine Duchess of Cambridge plays tennis with children as she visits the Lawn Tennis Association in Roehampton, Britain, 31 October 2017. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting their third baby in April 2018.
TENNIS DRILLS WITH CHILDREN AHOY. Somewhere, Harry is eating a crumpet and fighting back feelings of jealousy. "Harry, you've never even GONE to Wimbledon," Meghan points out, sensibly. "I guess you're right," he grumbles. "But still. This is my beat."
