Kate is a patron of the Rugby Football Union in England, while William serves as the patron of the Welsh Rugby Union, which governs the game in Wales.

William’s role is one he has held since 2016. Princess Kate’s patronage is a role she took on in February 2022, in an appointment that marked the first of Prince Harry‘s former patronages to be redistributed after he and wife Meghan Markle stepped back from their working roles within the royal family.

Kate and William previously attended the Wales vs. England Six Nations Match back in March. The outing marked their first time at a game in years, amid Kate’s treatment for cancer.

Before the match, the Prince and Princess of Wales met with injured players supported by the Welsh Rugby Charitable Trust, which William is also the patron of. The royal couple also greeted players and their loved ones at the Sir Tasker Watkins Suite.

Kate and William share a passion for the sport with their three children — Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7.

According to royal editor Roya Nikkah of The Sunday Times, Prince William once said that the rugby rivalry between his family had become “quite the thing in the house,” but he was “trying to stay out of it.”
