The Prince and Princess of Wales headed to Cardiff on Saturday to attend the Wales vs England Six Nations Match at Principality Stadium.
Prince William, 40, is patron of the Welsh Rugby Union, while wife Kate, 41, is patron of the Rugby Football Union – having taken over the role from the Duke of Sussex last year.
Ahead of kick off, the Royal pair met injured players supported by the Welsh Rugby Charitable Trust, of which William is also patron, and officially opened the Sir Tasker Watkins Suite.
As he greeted those at the reception, William joked he could be set for a "tense" journey home with Kate, as he supports Wales while Kate supports England. Later in the evening, the match saw England beat Wales 20-10.
"I’m looking forward to today. We need a little lift after the past week, don’t we?" the future King said before the match.
"It’s going to be a very tense journey home. If we win today my wife won’t speak to me. It will be a tense evening."
The Prince of Wales showed his support for Wales by sporting a red tie, while Kate stunned in her £850 Catherine Walker red and white coat. She first debuted the stylish houndstooth coat in 2018 during a trip to Stockholm, Sweden.
The Princess was asked about her support for England, to which she excitedly responded: “The atmosphere is always second-to-none, so I’m looking forward to that.”
She and William also opened up about their three children's interest in rugby, revealing they've all taken up the sport over recent years.
The pair told how Prince George, nine, is now learning to tackle rather than playing the non-contact game tag rugby.
“They are trying to teach him the rules,” Kate said. "They move them around for their confidence. Because he is tall, he has the physique", adding that Charlotte, seven, also does rugby.
The match was the Welsh men’s team’s second and final home game of the Guinness Six Nations 2023. Before the national anthems were played, there was a silence to mark the one-year anniversary of the war in Ukraine.
A message on screens in the stadiums read: “Six Nations Rugby, its unions, federations and the entire rugby family continue to stand with Ukraine and strongly condemn the aggressive invasion of their country.”
