Royal Revelations and Running Feats

Hey, New Yorkers, guess what? Prince William’s got something to share about his little princess, Charlotte. Seems she’s not just sitting around in a palace, but hitting the tracks. Bet you didn’t see that coming, huh?

Keely Hodgkinson’s Big Day

Meet Keely Hodgkinson. She’s not your average runner. In fact, she snagged a gold at the Paris Olympics. Prince William, during an investiture gig, made her a Member of the Order of the British Empire. That’s a mouthful, but hey, it’s a big deal. Hodgkinson says it all felt “really nice.” Sounds like she’s floating on air. She even shared with PA news agency more about their chat.

“The prince told me his daughter is doing the 400m at the minute and the hurdles. She watched me in Paris.”

Little Princess on the Run

Princess Charlotte, just 10, is apparently sprinting her heart out. Dad’s got her clocked at 400m and hurdles. Impressive, right? William remembered Hodgkinson’s Olympic moment and wished he’d been there. Who wouldn’t?

The Comeback Trail

Now, about Keely. She’s had a bit of trouble—hamstring tear back in February. Ouch. But no worries, she’s making a comeback. June’s Stockholm Diamond League is on her radar.

Hodgkinson’s Words

Here’s what she shared:

Feel-good vibes are strong.
No current issues with her hamstring.
Back in training and raring to race.

Looking Ahead

So, Hodgkinson’s almost ready to kick off the season. Four or five weeks to go, but who’s counting? For her, it’s like prepping for another Olympic final. Talk about dedication!

The Sporty Wales

And let’s not forget, the royals are a sporty bunch. Kate? She’s known for her gym skills since school days. Running must be in the family genes.
