Rivalry between William and Kate
Prince William has been the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) patron since 2016 and has often been seen watching the team play. However, since February, the Duchess of Cambridge has been the Rugby Football Union (RFU) patron.
This means there is likely a small rivalry between the couple during international games, with Prince William cheering for Wales and his wife Kate, cheering for England.
