A video showcasing Princess Kate playing hockey in high heels during the early stages of her pregnancy with Prince George has taken TikTok by storm.
During her first trimester with her first child, Princess Kate visited St. Andrew’s school in Pangbourne, Berkshire, and decided to join a hockey game, despite wearing high-heeled boots and being pregnant.
Despite suffering from severe morning sickness known as hyperemesis gravidarum, Kate participated in the game, displaying extraordinary determination. Shortly after, she was hospitalized due to her condition.
The video of Princess Kate’s impromptu hockey game went viral recently, despite the event occurring over a decade ago. It gained immense popularity on TikTok, amassing 415,000 likes and 2.1 million views.
The caption of the video praised Kate’s unconventional sporting attire and pregnancy status, emphasizing her iconic status.
One comment highlighted Kate’s grace and elegance while playing hockey, expressing surprise at her poise on the field.
Notably, Kate attended St. Andrew’s school until the age of 13 before later meeting Prince William at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland.
During her visit to the school, Kate fondly recalled her childhood nickname, Squeak, inspired by the class guinea pigs Pip and Squeak.
Her visit to the school marked her final public appearance before her hospitalization due to severe morning sickness, leading to the early revelation of her pregnancy news.
A statement from the palace at the time explained the situation, indicating Princess Kate’s expected stay in the hospital for a few days followed by a period of rest.
