The sports fanatics were seen teasing each other

PRINCESS Kate and Prince William were seen bantering with fans as they supported opposite sides during the England-Wales Six Nations rugby clash.

The royal couple were spotted gesturing enthusiastically during the game as fellow guests laughed at the family rivalry.

The highly-anticipated England vs Wales match kicked off this afternoon at Principality Stadium in Cardiff.

England was “ready to embrace the hostility of Cardiff” according to England lock Ollie Chessum – in one of the last games of the season.

Kate, 43, and William, 40 are patrons of the Rugby Football League (RFL) and Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) respectively.

Despite the good-natured rivalry, they united before the game to greet injured players at the stadium supported by the Welsh Rugby Charitable Trust.

In a story posted to their shared Instagram account, the pair wrote: “A pleasure to meet with players supported by the Welsh Rugby Charitable Trust ahead of today’s match in Cardiff.”

The same message was also written in Welsh, along with snaps from the event.

The famously competitive couple have previously joked about their opposing loyalties when it comes to the Six Nations.

In 2023, William remarked it would be a “tense journey home” with his wife after a Six Nations Wales v England match in Cardiff.

As well as his love for rugby, Prince William is also a footie fan – and was spotted earlier this week enjoying a matchday at Villa Park mixing with the other fans.

The royal has spoken of falling in love with Aston Villa after being taken to a match by friends as a boy.

He also revealed he visits fan forums anonymously online — and moves his kids around when watching at home to bring the team luck.

William said he was gripped by the “sense of belonging” and the passion of his fellow football fans.

When the new England boss Thomas Tuchel was appointed, the FA received criticism for choosing a foreigner rather than an Englishman.

However the royal gave Tuchel the royal seal of approval.

In an exclusive interview with SunSport, Prince William, now an FA patron after serving 18 years as president, said: “I understand the debate around having an English manager.

“But, to me, it should be the best person for the job — and Thomas is exactly the right person.

Without doubt he is one of the top five managers in the world.”

“It would be amazing if he could win the World Cup next year. It’s gearing up to that and it’s definitely possible.”

Kate’s appearance at the rugby comes as part of a gradual return to public duties after revealing she is in remission from cancer.

She also has an engagement with the Irish Guards on St Patrick’s Day in London on Monday.
