Geva Mentor brought a Netball for Charlotte

Netball Champion Geva Mentor, who was made a CBE for services to the sport yesterday, talked to the Press Association after the ceremony about what it was like meeting the Duke of Cambridge:

"He mentioned the height first of all, he said, 'It's wonderful to be able to look somebody in the eye'."

She also brought a gift for Princess Charlotte it turned out: "I mentioned that I had a netball for little Charlotte, I think it's so important that kids know what netball is and grow up with it."
