Kate looked absolutely delighted to be back at Wimbledon after the tournament's cancellation last year."With the tournament having to be cancelled last year, it's amazing to see fans and players back inside these iconic grounds."After watching matches on one of the outer courts, Kate visited one of the kitchens on the grounds.
She spoke to Executive Chef Adam Fargin, who told her how the kitchen has been used by the AELTC over the past year to prepare and distribute 200 daily hot meals for the local community in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.The Duchess was keen to get involved with some of the kitchen's preparations and was pictured helping the team to make some delicious-looking strawberry desserts.
The Museum, which was opened by the Duke of Kent, President of the AELTC, in 1977 is a tribute to the heritage of the game and the history of The Championships. This year, the Museum is accessible for free to Championships ticket-holders for the first time.The Duchess demonstrated some of her athletic prowess, as she tested her reaction time in one interactive part of the exhibition.She scored 24 in 30 seconds with the world record said to be 56.
Kate added:"The ones in the corners are really difficult. It is an amazing programme for coordination as it's got that lateral movement."In the museum, the Duchess paused for several minutes at the Andy Murray portrait, by Maggi Hambling, which is on loan from the National Portrait Gallery, of which she is patron."It is very pretty. I like the concept of taking portraits back to the cities or home towns or here, it is such a good idea.
