Duchess Kate embraced her sporty side in a solo engagement on Wednesday, February 26.
The Duchess of Cambridge made an appearance at a SportsAid event at the London Stadium in Stratford, U.K. The gathering was in support of the parents and guardians of young athletes.
Kate became a patron of SportsAid in 2013. The charity aims to help young British athletes with aspirations of becoming Olympians or Paralympians. In doing so, it provides financial assistance to the athletes for their training and competition costs.
“The Duchess joined young athletes taking part in a series of track and field activities, before meeting parents and guardians of SportsAid athletes, past and present, to hear about their experiences, the challenges that they face, and about the impact of the support they receive from the charity,” a statement from Kensington Palace’s official Instagram read on Wednesday, captioning several pics of Kate participating.

Kate’s appearance at Wednesday’s SportsAid event comes after she and her husband, Prince William, briefly pumped the brakes on their busy work schedules. The four-day hiatus between February 17 to February 21 coincided with their children Prince George, 6, and Princess Charlotte, 4, having a brief break from their London school, Thomas’ Battersea. Kate and William, 37, are also the parents of Prince Louis, 22 months.
