Kate Middleton and Prince William turned their weekend into a sporty adventure on Saturday, September 6, 2025, showing up at different Women’s Rugby World Cup matches. The Princess of Wales cheered on England against Australia at the American Express Stadium in East Sussex. Meanwhile, the Prince of Wales backed Wales as they faced Fiji at Sandy Park in Exeter. They were in their perfect places, since Kate Middleton is patron of the Rugby Football Union in England, and William has been the Welsh Rugby Union patron since 2016.

The pair has shared their rugby passion before, most recently in March during the Wales vs. England Six Nations Match. That marked their return to public rugby fun after Kate Middleton’s cancer battle. Beyond the sports fun, both royals often use these appearances to meet players, families, and beneficiaries of charities tied to the sport. For example, Prince William is also patron of the Welsh Rugby Charitable Trust.

Rugby is not just their pastime; it is a family thing! Their three kids, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, are already following the action. William once joked that the England versus Wales rivalry has turned into “quite the thing in the house.” With Kate on Team England and William being a Wales fan, the royal family is basically living its own sports drama!
