Royal Family become unlikely rivals as Kate Middleton makes ‘nervous’ whisper ahead of Six Nations
The Prince and Princess of Wales have become unlikely rivals as they cheer on opposite sides at the Wales v England Six Nations match tonight – and Kate appeared to let slip a “nervous” whisper ahead of the game.
Prince William and Kate Middleton have found themselves on opposing sides as they cheer for different teams at the Wales v England Six Nations match tonight, with Kate reportedly sharing a “nervous” whisper before the game.
They are attending the match at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium, their respective patronages leading them to support rival teams. Prince William has been patron of the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) since 2016, while the Princess of Wales took over the patronage of the Rugby Football League (RFL) from Prince Harry in 2022.
The Royal couple, known for their competitive spirit, have previously joked about their divided loyalties during the tournament, with William backing Wales and Kate supporting England. In 2023, William humorously commented that it would be a “tense journey home” after a Six Nations Wales v England match in Cardiff.
