Next week is the Duchess will compete with the British SailGP team in Plymouth in a “Commonwealth Race” against their rivals in New Zealand. It will take place prior to the last day of the GB Sail Grand prize.
Known as an avid sportswoman, Kate joins the British crew.
She will team up with the rest of the crew to race the boat at speeds of up to 50 knots (over 55 mph).
While in Plymouth, the Duchess will join the 1851 trust, a charity of which she is patroness.
The visit will allow the royal to meet young people involved in the trust’s activities to promote sustainability.
However, the Cambridges’ decision to stay in the UK may also be related to preparations for their anticipated move to Windsor.
The family is moving from Kensington Palace in central London to the city of Berkshire for various reasons, it has been reported.
Moving to Windsor means the family will be closer to the Queen, who now lives permanently in Windsor Castle.
The Duchesses’ parents, Carole and Michael Middleton, and her brother James also live nearby.

The 19th-century cottage was previously considered a weekend getaway for the Duke and Duchess of Sussex before resigning from their royal duties on the front line in 2020.
Adelaide Cottage was first built in 1831 and named after William IV’s wife, Queen Adelaide.
According to Historic England, the master bedroom features gilded dolphins and rope ornaments originally used on the royal yacht, HMY Royal George, along with a marble Greco-Egyptian fireplace.
It was only renovated in 2016 so that the Cambridges don’t have to make major repairs.
The cottage’s most famous former resident was Peter Townsend, an RAF officer who was engaged to Princess Margaret but could not marry her because he was divorced, which went against the social conventions of the time.
