Kate in Team GB Shirt for Paralympic Events

Hello to you all,
After joining the Queen at the Paralympic Games Opening Ceremony, William and Kate were back at the Olympic Park this morning to support Team GB.


Daily Mirror
The couple watched goalball at the Copper Box Venue. Parts of goalball are played in complete silence meaning spectators must respect this at all times.

The iconic Copper Box is an extremely flexible venue, with retractable seating that can change the floor size within the venue, facilitating different activities both during and after the games.

Next up, the couple cheered on the cyclist at the Velodrome. Kate was seated next to Sophie, Countess of Wessex and her daughter Lady Louise Windsor. The royals certainly got into the Paralympic spirit and took part in a mexican wave.

Katherine Copeland said meeting the Duchess was 'amazing' 


'I've wanted to meet her, all through the Games I've seen her at other sports and I keep missing her. She's gorgeous in real life. They were both really nice. Kate had obviously watched all of our races, which was pretty amazing.  She was really knowledgeable about our sport'.

Prince Harry jokingly mentioned how much he enjoyed seeing Olympic champion cyclists Laura Trott and Jason Kenny kissing behind David Beckham at the games :)
