TRH The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will attend the star-studded Winter Whites Gala, which will be held on behalf of Prince William’s patron charity Centrepoint at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Saturday night, December 8.

The Duke of Cambridge has been the charity’s patron since 2005, continuing his late mother Princess Diana’s work, and proceeds from the night will be donated to Centrepoint to further its work in supporting homeless 16-25 year-olds in the UK .

The Winter Whites Gala will see the Royal Albert Hall, a UK charity itself and host of the Statoil Masters Tennis December 5- 9, transformed into an enchanted Winter Wonderland, featuring some of the biggest names in sport and entertainment.

Tennis greats John McEnroe, Bjorn Borg, Boris Becker, Ivan Lendl and Chris Evert have all confirmed their attendance. McEnroe will play a match, with Lendl, Borg, Becker and Evert in attendance to lend their support. Goran Ivanisevic and Tim Henman, who featured in one of the most memorable Wimbledon semifinals in 2001, will meet in singles action.

VIP ticket-holders to the gala evening will mix with film stars, celebrities and some of the greatest tennis champions of all-time on the white carpet and at a champagne reception, before enjoying an exclusive private dinner in the Gallery, decorated as a magical winter crystal palace. VIP guests will then take their seats in their own private hospitality box to watch a brilliant show featuring a singles tournament match followed by exhibition doubles and the presentation of the Centrepoint Premier Award for Contribution to the Lives of Youth Across the World.
