Kate Middleton and Prince William are avid supporters of all British sports from tennis, football, rugby, swimming and much more - so how likely is it they will attend the Paris 2024 Olympics?

Currently on their annual summer break, where they usually holiday in Balmoral Castle in Scotland, questions over whether the royals will travel to Paris with their children George, Charlotte and Louis have risen.

At present, no details have been confirmed of their attendance but as it's for enjoyment, it may not be something Kensington Palace announce or confirm.
