Princess Charlotte wants to take after mum Kate with new hobby after being inspired by Commonwealth Games

Princess Charlotte has ambitious plans for a hobby that runs in the family - the sporty young royal wants to win gold as a hockey player.

The seven-year-old is said to have been inspired by the England women’s hockey team, who celebrated a 3-1 victory over India on Tuesday at the Commonwealth Games. Charlotte would be following in her mum’s footsteps - the Duchess of Cambridge was a keen field hockey player in high school and has picked up a hockey stick at several royal visits since, including joining in with the GB women’s hockey team practice.

Ama Agbeze, a Commonwealth Games gold medallist with the England netball team in 2018, told BirminghamLive : “Kate and William were at the hockey. And Charlotte was saying she wants to play hockey.”
