Kate Middleton is back at one of her favorite sporting events.

The Duchess of Cambridge was in attendance at Wimbledon on Friday, but she didn't just visit the ongoing Grand Slam tournament to see tennis. Kate, 39, also spent some of the morning in the kitchens on the grounds to help prepare food.

Kate was highlighting the work that organizers at the All England Lawn Tennis Club have been doing to create and distribute 200 meals a day to those in need during the coronavirus pandemic.

Watching the champion athletes volley came first though, as she started her visit to the annual tennis championships on Friday by joining AELTC chief executive Sally Bolton and committee member, former tennis star Tim Henman, on one of the outer courts to watch a match.
