Princess of Wales, a sports enthusiast, participated in murderball match at a university in England
Prince William, Kate Middleton learn from Princess Diana's marriage
The paperback version of Andrew Morton's book, "The Queen: Her Life," was recently published. The bestselling author is known as Princess Diana's biographer.
Kate Middleton is known for her competitive nature and won't hesitate to jump into a game, whether it's tennis, hockey or sailing around the world.
The Princess of Wales suited up in navy-blue sweats for a game of murderball – more commonly known as wheelchair rugby – to celebrate the power of inclusivity at the University of Hull in northeast England.
Middleton appeared to be in great spirits throughout the meet-and-greet despite bandages on her right hand.
In September, she reportedly hurt a few fingers after an incident with her three children – Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 8, and Prince Louis, 5 – when they were playing on a trampoline.

Princess Kate appeared on the podcast "The Good, The Bad, & The Rugby" alongside her husband, Prince William, Princess Anne and the couple's cousin, Mike Tindall, in September as the group joked about Middleton's competitive nature.
"I'm not going to say you're uber competitive," Tindall said sarcastically.
She responded, "I'm not competitive at all."

In June, Kate reconnected with tennis great Roger Federer to train the on-court ball girls and ball boys of Wimbledon.
"With the discipline and everything that you've learned from here, you'll be able to take it into so many other different parts of your life. Things like confidence. And as you're saying … that feeling of pride being on any of the courts, actually, is such a big moment," Middleton said.
