The pair will be hosting a day of tennis in London in September to raise funds and promote awareness for two charities that are very important to the Duchess of Cambridge: Action for Children and the Lawn Tennis Association Foundation, where Kate is a patron.

Guests will be given the opportunity to buy tickets to watch Federer and other stars from the world of tennis prepare for the day of games with all proceeds from ticket sales going to Action for Children and the LTA Foundation.
