Jolly hockeysticks!

Catherine was always sporty at school and her enthusiasm for hockey continued when she was a student at St. Andrew's prep school when she was known as Kate Middleton.

According to some pals, the future royal was "very good" at hockey and upon returning to her old school for an engagement, she said: "It was while I was here at school that I realised my love of sport. Sport has been a huge part of my life, and I feel incredibly grateful for the opportunities I had to get outside and play in such wonderful open spaces - though sadly there was nothing quite as glamorous as this in my time!"
