The Prince and Princess of Wales<\/a> are no doubt incredibly excited for their big move into Forest Lodge<\/a> after deciding to leave their humble four-bed home, Adelaide Cottage, behind. It hasn’t been announced exactly when the royal couple, along with their three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis<\/a>, will actually make the relocation, which is three miles down the road, but it is believed to be at the end of the year. Not only will the family have a lot more space to enjoy as it’s an eight-bed property, there’s an extra special feature in the grounds that the family will adore\u2026 a tennis court!\u00a0<\/p>\n

We know that Princess Kate is a big tennis fan \u2013 she loves the sport and she’s a Patron of the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club. Her royal role has meant she’s been lucky enough to play with some major tennis stars like Roger Federer and Emma Raducanu, and the latter even praised the mum-of-three’s “incredible forehand”. But it’s not just Kate who loves a game of tennis \u2013 it would be a full-on family affair.<\/p>\n

Kate previously revealed that her son George took up tennis in 2017, when he was just four years old. Roger Federer even helped George with his technique at their private court located on their country estate in Norfolk. Speaking about the experience, Roger said: “He\u2019s a cute boy. I love to see they\u2019re into tennis or into sport. His mum has always enjoyed tennis. I hope he\u2019ll stay the same in a few years\u2019 time and this is not just an in-the-moment situation.”\u00a0<\/p>\n

Although Prince Louis has yet to attend the annual tennis tournament, he’s already interested. The Princess of Wales told a Wimbledon ball boy that Louis practices standing like one of them while she plays. Ball boy Joel, then 16, said: “He tries to practice the standing and staying serious, like us.”<\/p>\n
