Kate Middleton Accused Of Flirting With Ben Ainslie: Sailing In Portsmouth Ditched For Romantic Date? [Rumors]

Kate Middleton recently joined Olympic sailor Ben Ainslie for a training session in Portsmouth as she visited the 1851 Trust of which she is Royal Patron. But aside from her outfits and her sailing with Ainslie, the Duchess of Cambridge was also rumored to have a "crush" on the sailor and that Prince William is "jealous" about it.

Said rumor was slammed by Gossip Cop saying that the story is fabricated and they exclusively corrected that the claims are inaccurate and is a "total nonsense."

It was reported that while Middleton was testing a new Catamaran with Ainslie which could be used for the America’s Cup in 2017, she had a “crush on Ben or was she trying to make Prince William jealous," Celeb Dirty Laundry wrote. But apparently, the "flirting" story is merely made up especially that Ainslie is also a married man.

As previously reported by Travelers Today, Middleton got involved in the project that aims to encourage young people to pursue sailing and she also opened the new Tech Deck Education Centre. She also visited a group of local school children who took part of the #STEMCREW digital workshops that focus on the science, technology, maths and engineering of the America's Cup challenge.

While trying the Americas Cup test boat in a sailing gear, Middleton took control of the boat and it is obvious that she had a great time doing it.

"We were all really impressed, she's clearly done a fair amount of sailing before. She had a feel for the boat. It's a really high powered racing machine and to be able to steer one of those at close to 40 mph for even a skilled sailor is a real challenge and she did a great job. We had a wonderful sail," Ainslie said according to Hello Magazine.

"She really enjoyed it. She certainly looked like she did. This is fantastic for the team to have her involvement and have her support," he added.

After sailing, the Duchess changed into a sporty look wearing black skinny jeans, a knitted crewneck top and a pair of black Adidas trainers, Mail Online reported.
