See every look Kate Middleton has worn since her engagement! »

While we’re always game for pictures of Kate doing pretty much anything, it’s the candid action shots that really excite us. Case in point: this morning William, Kate and Harry were playing sports at Bacon’s College in South London to launch a program that encourages young people to become coaches. (How very day-before-the-Olympics appropriate!) Kate wore a checker print white and grey day dress by Hobbs, which is of course now sold out, given its £119 price tag. The full skirt and nipped-in waist didn’t hinder her athletic ability, though: the duchess kicked off her Pied a Terre Imperia wedge heels and went barefoot to referee a judo match. (And to think only a few months ago we were going gaga over her lack of sheer tights!) Next, she played a round of ping pong—and was reportedly quite good at it. Perhaps she picked up some tips while at Wimbledon? Will, Kate and Harry will be back in the public eye later today to welcome the Olympic torch to Buckingham Palace, so until then we’ll be playing our favourite royal sartorial guessing game of “No wardrobe change, new dress or recycled outfit?”
