    Could we be seeing HRH at Wimbledon sometime soon?

    Could Prince George be the next big British tennis star? Maybe.

    The Duchess of Cambridge visited Wimbledon last week, and while chatting with former tennis champion Greg Rusedski, she said Prince George is already playing tennis - even though he’s not even three years old yet. It sounds like yet another of his seriously adorable moments, tbf.

    (Might we recommend taking a look back at The Duke and Duchess's family's best bits in our very own Cambridge Family Album?)

    'She talked about George, her little boy, playing tennis,' the former UK number one said of their conversation, according to The Daily Mail. 'He's got a racket and he enjoys playing tennis, and obviously she plays with William… So they obviously enjoy the sport very much.’

    The 11th day of the tournament ended up turning into quite a big one for Duchess Kate, as she made her Snapchat debut by appearing in a Snapchat video with none other than world number one, Serena Williams. She popped up in the clip along with fellow royal, Sophie, countess of Wessex. We really hope Kate gets on the Snapchat bandwagon soon (so that we can fawn over cute snaps of George and Charlotte, obvs).

    So HRH Prince George to be the next Tim Henman or Andy Murray? Watch this space...
