The Prince and Princess of Wales took different sides as the Six Nations tournament reached a crucial point and it was Kate who came out winner.
The Princess of Wales is now patron of the English Rugby Union and was on hand to cheer the team as they claimed a 20-10 victory over Wales at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
The Prince of Wales has been patron of the Welsh Rugby Union since 2016.
Before the game started, the Prince and Princess of Wales joined a minute’s silence as the first anniversary of the invasion of Ukraine was remembered.
As well as watching the match, played before a sell out crowd of 75,000, the Prince and Princess officially opened the Sir Tasker Williams suite at the stadium. It’s been provided by the Welsh Rugby Charitable Trust, of which William is also patron, and is for the sole use of injured former players on Wales match days.
The couple met members of the trust as well as stadium staff and volunteers during their visit.
William and Kate also chatted with several players who suffered injuries during their careers including Leif Thobroe who lost the use of his right arm after an injury to his spine.
England’s win leaves them within touching distance of Ireland who currently head the Six Nations table. The defeat means Wales are still without a point in this year’s tournament and in danger of being left with the wooden spoon at the end of the competition.
