The Royal Thames Yacht Club is reportedly hoping that the 41-year-old will become their new Commodore after Prince Andrew stepped down in 2021. The patronage was then passed to King Charles, but it has been reported that the club now has its eyes on Kate, who is a sailing enthusiast. Previous patrons of the club included Prince Philip and Lord Mountbatten. The club launched a new event called "Women Who Rock the Boat" earlier this week in a bid to "encourage women in the sailing world". A senior member of the club said the Princess of Wales "would be a great role model". However, an insider told the Daily Mail that the club cannot approach the palace with the suggestion, but the decision needs to come from within the Royal Family. The source said: "The trouble is, royal protocol dictates that it's up to her and the Royal Family to make the first move." In July 2022, Kate stunned the crowd as she arrived in Plymouth for the global sailing championship where she joined the 1851 Trust and the Great Britain SailGP team for the second day of racing. Before the race, Kate met with excited youngsters who explained about growing Seagrass. Carnegie Bedlow, 12, from St Helier in Jersey, said: "I was a little bit nervous but she did what I told her and she was very good. She asked me if I was interested in sailing. I do sailing camps in the summer, I love the ocean." Just days later, Catherine took to the water with the GB team in a daring sailing race against New Zealand. In a clip, posted on Kate and William's Instagram account on August 7, 2022, the Duchess looked thrilled as the catamaran cut through the water at speed during t){kind=link}
