During the event, the royal made a speech, "For all of you here, you go, and have gone, above and beyond the call of duty; you’ve committed your time and devotion to nurturing your children’s exceptional talents."
The Duchess continued, relating to them as a parent herself, "And as a parent, I have a huge admiration for you and I know just how complex and time-consuming your role is.”
Although seeing Kate Middleton in such a sporty venue was nice, it was definitely a change of pace for the Duchess who typically sticks to less athletic events.
The Duchess has been in the public eye a lot recently, and she is now visiting Ireland with Prince William.
