During the recent Wales vs. England Six Nations rugby match, Princess Kate and Prince William showcased their playful dynamic, despite supporting opposing teams. Body language expert Judi James analyzed their interactions, highlighting the light-hearted banter exchanged between the couple.
Attending the match at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Prince William, a longtime patron of the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU), and Kate, who took over as patron of the Rugby Football League (RFL) from Prince Harry in 2022, found themselves on opposite sides. Judi observed William’s jovial demeanor, indicating his confidence and enjoyment from the outset, while Kate appeared more focused and serious as the game commenced.
As the match progressed, William’s upbeat attitude and friendly gestures contrasted with Kate’s initial seriousness. Despite a tense moment captured between Kate and Rob Udwin, president of the RFU, where they shared a “nervous” exchange, the atmosphere lightened as England gained the upper hand. Kate’s more lighthearted side emerged, as she shared a mischievous smile with William, embracing the spirited competition.
Their differing allegiances – William supporting Wales and Kate backing England – have been a source of playful rivalry between the couple throughout the tournament. The duo’s dynamic and competitive spirit were on full display, adding an entertaining touch to the sporting event.
