Kate Middleton and Prince William have made their third joint appearance of the year. The royal couple joined forces to attend yesterday’s Wales v England Six Nations Rugby game held at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales. Although William and Middleton attended the game together, they were actually there to support different teams in a longstanding light-hearted rivalry. William is a Patron of the Welsh Rugby Union, while Middleton is a Patron of England’s Rugby Football Union. This marks their first joint appearance at the rugby tournament since 2022. 

Before the game, the couple sat down with injured players in the stadium in a meeting arranged by the Welsh Rugby Charitable Trust, of which William is also a Patron. “A pleasure to meet with players supported by the Welsh Rugby Charitable Trust ahead of today’s match in Cardiff,” wrote the royal couple on X, also sharing the same message in Welsh.

The couple then headed to the stands to watch the match, which saw England taking home the win with a score of 14-68. 

Middleton wore a sharp navy coat with gold buttons, which she paired with a black turtleneck. She wore her hair down in bouncy curls. Meanwhile, William wore a navy suit and coat with a red and white striped tie.

The couple didn’t attend the rugby match last year as Middleton was recovering from a recent abdominal surgery. In March of that year, she released a video announcing that she would be undergoing cancer treatment. As of January 2025, the Princess of Wales is officially in remission and has been slowly taking on more royal duties, though her schedule is still reportedly limited.

This year, she has joined William for a Commonwealth Day celebration and a visit to Pontypridd, Wales. She also made a few solo appearances, visiting the hospital where she had treatment for cancer and even stepping out to do some shopping.

She is also scheduled to make a solo appearance for St. Patrick’s Day next week.
