William mentioned the topic to British 800m gold medal holder Keely Hodgkinson.
"The Prince told me his daughter is doing the 400 metres and the hurdles and that she did watch me in Paris," Hodgkinson said. He told me that he remembers me winning and wished to be there to see it himself."

The young royal has an athletic personality. As her mother, Princess Catherine of Wales, once said she “spends most of her time upside-down, doing handstands and cartwheels.”
