The Duchess of Cambridge is in Edinburgh today (24th Feb) for a trio of engagements.
She's touring three schools in the capital, visiting a range of charity projects.
This morning Kate visited St Catherine's Primary school, where she learned about the work of the charity Place2Be and met pupils...
The final stop in the day will take her to Craigmount High School where Judy Murray will host a Tennis on the Road coaching clinic.
Judy founded the project in 2014 with the idea of increasing coaching capacity and growing the game at a grassroots level.
The programme has already delivered 17 separate roadshows, visiting different locations across Scotland each month.
Kate will join Judy and her coaching team for a demonstration workshop alongside parents, teachers and volunteers. A group of children will then join in for some activities to test the skills they have learned.
The meeting between Kate - a keen tennis player and fan - and Judy comes less than three weeks after Judy became a grandmother.
Andy's wife Kim gave birth to their daughter, Sophia Olivia, on February 7.
The royal household said the focus of the day is on the local partnerships between charities, communities and schools which deliver programmes and sporting activities for children and young people.
