Both the Prince and the Princess have spoken about their passion for the sport – with the pair previously joining Princess Anne for a special appearance on Mike Tindall’s podcast The Good, The Bad and The Rugby with his co-hosts, James Haskell and Alex Payne.
The show, which was filmed at Windsor Castle, saw the pair speak about playing different sports together – with Kate teasing her husband when he recalled his school memories of playing rugby.
“I love rugby … I played at school, I loved it,” William said, to which the princess playfully responded: “Did you?”
It’s also clear that the sporty pair are passing on their interests to their young children as Kate previously joked about her fears about Louis playing rugby. “They’re all enjoying it, Louis is kamikaze, we’re worrying about when he gets older, he’ll be in the middle of everything,” she said.

Prince George is also following in his parents’ footsteps with William revealing the debate over who to support has become a bone of contention in the Wales family household. “It’s become quite the thing in the house,” William has said of the rivalry, adding: “[Catherine] is quite into it. I’m trying to stay out of it.”
The Welsh Rugby Charitable Trust, of which The Prince of Wales is Patron, was set up in 1972 as an organisation with a range of education, social and sporting objectives.
The principle aim of the charity however has always been to support those players and their families who have been severely injured whilst playing rugby football in Wales. All injured players are invited to every Wales home game and each year the WRU host a “Family Day” where the group can enjoy time together with their families.
