Despite standing side by side, Prince William and Kate Middleton couldn’t be further apart as they cheered on opposing sides during Saturday’s Six Nations rugby match between Wales and England in Cardiff.
The Prince of Wales is patron of Welsh Rugby Union while the Princess of Wales is patron of English Rugby Union, a responsibility previously given to Prince Harry.
The future monarchs of the United Kingdom wore bright red attire as they watched from the stands.
Before the competition, William and Kate met with injured players supported by the Welsh Charitable Trust where they alluded to a small friendly competition.

At the event, Prince William joked, according to the BBC: “It’s going to be a very tense journey home. “If we win tonight, my wife won’t speak to me. It’s going to be a tense evening.”
Luckily for William, Kate’s team emerged victorious, beating Wales 20-10.
For her part, the princess was most excited about the setting for the game, sharing, “The atmosphere is always second to none so I look forward to that.”

Last year, William and Kate brought their eldest son and future King of England, George, to the Six Nations event. Despite not being present on Saturday, the royal couple spoke about their son’s involvement in sport and revealed that George is learning how to pitch in.
“Because he’s tall, he has the physique,” Kate shared. “But then comes Louis. Charlotte also does rugby.”
