Earlier on in the day, Prince Edward and Sophie visited the Royal Tennis Court in Versailles. There's no denying that the royals are fans of the sport - they were first introduced to each other at a tennis match in 1993, before tying the knot at Windsor Castle six years later on 19 June 1999. At the tour, Prince Edward was given the chance to show off his skills before they were shown around the expansive sports hall, which is situated close to the Palace of Versailles.
