Today, (June 09, 2016) The Duchess of Cambridge hosted a dinner for the 40th Anniversary of SportsAid at Kensington Palace in London. Catherine has been Patron of the charity since 2013, SportsAid is a non-profit charity that “helps the next generation of British sports stars by giving them financial support and recognition during the critical early stages of their careers.” While at that pre-dinner Catherine met with SportsAid ambassadors and young athletes who will be competing in the Rio 2016 Olympics. During the dinner The Duchess gave a short speech which you can read below:
Good evening ladies and gentlemen. It is an absolute pleasure to be here with you to celebrate SportsAid’s 40th anniversary.
Some of you may know that I love sport. I love cheering on teams and athletes that I am passionate about. I love the physical challenge sport presents and the mental strength it gives us all. And I love the way it so often brings people together to work as part of a team.
I suspect many of you in this room may feel the same. The brilliance of SportsAid is in really understanding just how much athletic competition gives to our country as a whole. By investing in young sporting talent, they ensure that there is a strong pipeline of inspirational heroes.
These athletes then serve as motivators to everyone in the UK to get involved, get active, and embrace the power of sport to make us happier and healthier.
With little over 50 days to go until the Games begin in Rio; the next Olympiad is almost here. As we did in London in 2012, we will see a new generation of sporting stars emerge into the spotlight.
We cannot wait to meet the next SportsAid champions – the next Chris Hoys and Katherine Graingers who will remind us all of the magic and the power of sport.
So thank you all for supporting the incredible work of SportsAid. I am immensely proud to be their Patron and I can’t wait to cheer on our team competing in Rio.
I do hope you enjoy tonight’s very special occasion.

Hello everyone! If you’ve been browsing the gallery the last few weeks, you may have noticed that I’ve finally updated the gallery with high quality additions from the Canadian and North American Tours the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge did shortly after their marriage. Over 5,000 new images have been added, with maybe a few still missing give or take, that will be added as soon as they become available to us. The tours now also have their own category and are newly organized to hopefully make browsing a little easier. If you have any questions or comments, feel free to comment on this post or tweet us! We are also working on a new set up for the gallery, so if things look incomplete that is the reason. I hope all of you enjoy the new pictures and the new set up! Last but not least I would like to thank my friend Mary over at Keri Russell Web for all the donations!
