The Princess of Wales, 41, made the revelation at the Wales vs. England Six Nations rugby match on Saturday, where she and Prince William cheered for opposing teams. Prince William, 40, has been patron of the Welsh Rugby Union since 2016, while Princess Kate supports England as patron of the Rugby Football League and the Rugby Football Union. The royal couple attended a pre-event reception, where they met injured athletes supported by the Welsh Rugby Charitable Trust. There, Princess Kate revealed that Prince George and Princess Charlotte are both playing rugby. According to Hello! magazine, Kate said that George, 9, is moving up from tag rugby to touch rugby at school, where he's learning how to tackle — with an advantage. "They are trying to teach him the rules," she said. "They move them around for their confidence. Because he is tall, he has the physique."

Charlotte also does rugby," she added of Prince Louis, 4, and Princess Charlotte, 7, per Hello!

Maro Itoje Twitter Kate and William's rugby rivalry is fairly new, as she only took over as patron of the Rugby Football League and the Rugby Football Union in early 2022. The role previously belonged to Prince Harry, and the transfer to Kate marked the first of the Duke of Sussex's former patronages to be redistributed to another family member after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped back from their royal roles and relocated to California.
