For the first time, Prince William and Duchess Kate will follow the England versus Wales rugby match as patron competitors.
What will the royal house blessing be like for Prince William (39) and Duchess Kate (40) next Saturday? It will then be a sporting encounter for the first time, with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge crossing fingers for the other team.
The English and Welsh national rugby teams meet in Twickenham, London. The “problem”: Prince William has been the patron of the Welsh Rugby Union since 2016, and his wife Kate has been the patron of the two English rugby associations since this month. She inherited this dignity from her brother-in-law Prince Harry (37), who had lost patronage in the course of the Megxit.
Known for their sportsmanship
The royal couple is known to like to compete in various sporting competitions at public events – including rugby. The “Daily Mail” quotes a person close to the two saying, “They are famous for competing with each other and this will be no exception.” Kate and William will probably push each other in the stands on Saturday with one or the other malicious saying. If the match delivers the hoped-for exchange of blows.
