Kate Middleton will be making an iconic public appearance in the first month of the year to celebrate a special occasion. Kensington Palace has announced an exciting event for the Princess of Wales, and royal followers do not have long to wait.
It is well known that Kate Middleton became the patron of the Rugby Football Union in 2022, after Prince Harry was forced to give up the position as part of the ‘Megxit’ deal. Since then, the Princess has done an exceptional job.

On January 12, 2026. Kensington Palace reported that the Princess will host a reception at Windsor Castle on Thursday for England’s Women’s Rugby Team following their World Cup victory last year. Unfortunately, Kate Middleton missed the team’s triumph against Canada due to health issues, as she is recovering from cancer.
The upcoming reception promises to celebrate the Rugby Team for bringing pride to the land. It is expected that the photographs will be released once the event is carried out. What an iconic way to kick off a Royal January!
