Prince William and Princess Catherine posted the message on their official X account, stating they wish all players and support staff the best of luck as the tournament gets underway this weekend, and they look forward to an exciting start and unforgettable rugby. It remains unclear what specific event they are referring to as 'exciting' this weekend beyond the general start of the tournament, and whether they will attend any matches in person. The exact nature and duration of the holiday break they interrupted has not been disclosed.
Prince William is patron of the Welsh Rugby Union and has regularly attended both men's and women's fixtures, while Princess Catherine is patron of both the Rugby Football Union and the Rugby Football League. The English team will face the Welsh team head to head on Saturday, April 25.
She does loads of sport but not rugby.
The couple's children all attend Lambrook School and are set to return this Monday, April 13, according to Bracknell Forest Council. Their sons enjoy rugby and play it at school, but Charlotte does not. In January, Catherine revealed during a visit to West Yorkshire that Charlotte does loads of sport but not rugby.
There's not any other sport when you can say contact is a good thing.
