凯特王妃2012年在伯克郡母校圣安德鲁学校的讲话

A Speech by HRH The Duchess of Cambridge at St Andrew’s in Berkshire

30th November 2012

Thank you, Headmaster.

It is such a treat to be back here at St Andrew’s.  I absolutely loved my time here; they were some of my happiest years, which makes it so incredibly special to be here today. 

In fact, I enjoyed it so much that when I had to leave, I told my mother that I was going to come back to be a teacher.  While that didn’t quite happen, I was thrilled to have been asked back today on St. Andrew’s Day.

‪       It was while I was here at school that I realised my love of sport.  Sport has been a huge part of my life, and I feel incredibly grateful for the opportunities I had to get outside and play in such wonderful open spaces – though sadly there was nothing quite as glamorous as this in my time!

‪       I hope that you all enjoy playing sport here as much as I used to, and make the most of these incredible facilities.  It gives me great pleasure to declare this Astro officially open.
