Kate Middleton and tennis star Roger Federer are partnering up for an exciting new venture to raise money for disadvantaged children.

• Kensington Palace has announced a charitable collaboration between the Duchess of Cambridge and tennis pro, Roger Federer.
• The pair will come together for a special tennis day to fundraise for two charities close to Kate’s heart.
• This royal news comes after it’s been revealed that Princess Charlotte is set to receive THIS prestigious title when Prince William is King - and it’s seriously rare!

Kate Middleton has confirmed she will be teaming up with 20-time Grand Slam winner Roger Federer for a charitable collaboration that will raise money for vulnerable and disadvantaged children.

The pair will be partnering up for the Laver Cup ‘Open Day Practice’, which will take place at the O2 on September 22 and will allow fans to watch Federer and fellow tennis pros practice for the upcoming Laver Tournament. All ticket proceeds will be split between charities Action for Children and the LTA foundation, both of which Kate is a patron.

Taking to Twitter to announce the news, Federer tweeted, “Excited to announce that Laver Cup is partnering with The Duchess of Cambridge this year to raise funds for two incredible charities – @actionforchildrenuk and the @LTA Tennis Foundation. 

“Thank you for your support, and I look forward to seeing you in London!”- With The Duchess of Cambridges’ official account also retweeting the post. 

This project is one that is very close to Kate’s heart as not only is she a mother of three, but an avid fan of tennis. It was also revealed that her kids, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis have taken up tennis, with George even getting to attend Wimbledon this year for his ‘treat day.’

Royal fans were delighted with the new project and were quick to share their support for Federer’s post. One fan tweeted, “Brilliant!! Can’t wait to see this partnership”

While another fan remarked, “Such a fun event for wonderful charities!!” with a third fan adding, “How fantastic is this!! Brilliant news.”

Fans have also expressed their hopes at seeing Kate’s own tennis skills and they could be in luck, as she has previously shown off her sporting talents - namely playing football in heels and playing Rugby as she was announced as the new Patron of the Rugby Football League and Rugby Football Union.
