A viral video on TikTok is making waves, showing Princess Kate in an unexpected light: playing hockey in high heels while pregnant with Prince George.
This clip, filmed during an official visit to St. Andrew’s School in Pangbourne, Berkshire, captures a memorable moment when the then-Duchess of Cambridge spontaneously joined a hockey game.
Kate Middleton Playing Hockey Pregnant
Despite being in the early stages of pregnancy, Kate didn’t hesitate to grab a hockey stick and join the fun, even while wearing high-heeled boots.
Her participation was all the more impressive considering she was battling hyperemesis gravidarum, a severe form of morning sickness that later required hospitalization.
Though the event took place over 11 years ago, the clip has recently resurfaced and gone viral on TikTok. It has amassed over 2.1 million views and 421,000 likes, with many commenters expressing their admiration.
The video caption reads, “Kate Middleton playing hockey with high heel boots & I’m pretty sure pregnant is crazybro is not real she’s so iconic I love her.”
One user marveled, “How does one look so elegant while playing hockey, holy moly.”
Kate has a long history with St. Andrew’s School, having attended it until she was 13 years old. She later attended the University of St. Andrews in Scotland, where she met Prince William.
The visit to St. Andrew’s was Kate’s final public engagement before being admitted to the hospital on December 3 due to her severe morning sickness.
This health issue prompted Kate and Prince William to announce their pregnancy earlier than planned, as they needed to explain her sudden absence from public duties.
At the time, a palace statement explained, “As the pregnancy is in its very early stages, Her Royal Highness is expected to stay in hospital for several days and will require a period of rest thereafter.”
This video has delighted online observers as Kate continues to be away from her duties due to her cancer treatment.
