The latter actually revealed that the future Queen of England was a fan of table tennis and its other variant, beer pong, the games of which she takes very seriously. “I’m not going to say you’re very competitive,” Mike Tindall joked, prompting Catherine to respond sarcastically: “I’m not competitive at all.” And Mike Tindall added: “I saw her playing beer pong!” »
Kate Middleton later revealed on the podcast that she and her husband have never “managed to finish a game of table tennis together,” explaining that “it becomes a mental challenge between the two of us.” The Prince of Wales confirmed that their games were about “who can outdo the other’s wits”.
Princess Anne said on the show that the Princess of Wales’s competitive nature had “very slightly” affected the royal couple’s three children: Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
“What I find really interesting is that they all have very different temperaments,” Catherine Middleton said of her children. “They grow up and try different sports. They are obviously very young… We will have to see how they grow and develop. »
Princess Charlotte began playing football and rugby at the age of eight, which made her mother very proud. “Charlotte now plays both sports and it’s really nice to see young people, especially girls, taking up these sports,” said Kate Middleton.
The Princess of Wales traveled to France on Saturday (9Sep23) to watch the first round of the Rugby World Cup, in which the England national team won against Argentina. Kate Middleton is a patron of the Rugby Football Union and the Rugby Football League.
