Tickets go on sale Monday 22nd August in support of Action for Children and the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA), of which the LTA Tennis Foundation is a charitable arm.
Duchess Catherine is patron of these two charities that are dear to her heart. Tennis has been one of Kate Middleton’s hobbies since she was a child, and as a member of the royal family, the Duchess became known as a child princess to fans who were quick to recognize her connection to the younger generation.

Her Royal Highness is passionate about supporting sport at grassroots level and encourages young people from all backgrounds to get involved in the sport.”
