Catherine, Princess of Wales makes small error playing tennis with Roger Federer on Wimbledon court: watch
During a 2022 trip to the Bahamas, Kate Middleton jokingly poked fun at Prince William after he turned down an opportunity to try conch, saying she is "more adventurous," as she tried it without hesitation.
She has the royal touch, or topspin! Catherine, the Princess of Wales got tennis legend Roger Federer to pop out of retirement for a special occasion on the famous grass courts of Wimbledon.
Kate Middleton and Federer were joined by the ball boys and girls of Wimbledon ahead of the Grand Slam tournament that begins next week.
Middleton took to ball girl duties while Federer served at the baseline, learning how to feed the ball to the Swiss athlete. When the ball was returned, Middleton caught it without letting it bounce.
Although Middleton was praised for her "good catch," Federer quickly reminded everyone why he was the all-time male champion of the tournament with eight singles titles. "Are you allowed to do that?" he cheekily asked ball girl Mollie of Middleton's no-bounce catch.

"Oh yeah, are you allowed to do that?" the Princess inquired.
"In Australia they would catch it, but in Wimbledon they don't," Federer said, noting the difference between the Australian Open and Wimbledon.
"Ah, OK," Middleton said, as Mollie explained that part of their responsibility as ball girls and boys was to allow the ball to bounce before retrieving it.
