Prince William & Kate will attend the Six Nations rugby match on Saturday

Prince William used to be the one who would do events here and there, events which would get little media attention if he was solo. Kate was the one who rarely did anything. But in recent months, that’s really reversed – Kate steps out for public events much more often than William. In the past two weeks, Kate has attended the BAFTAs with her husband, and she stepped out for that disastrous pancake photo-op. Meanwhile, William hasn’t done anything other than the BAFTAs. Something is going on and it’s not just William hiding out post-Spare. It’s almost like… people are starting to realize that William can’t do anything without being rude as hell, or without making some kind of insensitive gaffe or falling d–k first into controversy. In any case, Peg and Buttons will do an event this weekend. This is probably why William has done f–k all this week: why work Monday through Friday when you know you have to attend a rugby match on Saturday?

Let the battle of the Waleses commence! The Prince and Princess of Wales are set to go head-to-head at the Wales vs England Six Nations match at the Principality Stadium on Saturday.

William is patron of the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) while Kate became patron of the Rugby Football Union last year. The couple are renowned for being competitive with one another and no doubt there will be some friendly rivalry as they watch the action from the stands.

Prince George joined his parents for his first major rugby match between England and Wales last February where England saw a 23-19 victory. While it’s not known whether William and Kate will be joined by any of their children at the match on Saturday, Kensington Palace has confirmed that the Prince and Princess will meet injured players who are supported by the Welsh Rugby Charitable Trust, before officially opening the Sir Tasker Watkins Suite – a new space at the Stadium which is dedicated for use by the injured players and their families ahead of matches.

The Welsh Rugby Charitable Trust, of which The Prince of Wales is Patron, was set up in 1972 as an organisation with a range of education, social and sporting objectives.

At last year’s Six Nations match, Kate cosplayed Diana in a houndstooth jacket and they brought George as their little buffer. I don’t even think George is into rugby, not like he loves football. Anyway, this rugby patronage is the one they took away from Prince Harry and gave to Kate. She’s been feigning keenness for rugby for more than a year, so we’ll see what happens. It’s pretty funny/sad that William will literally only work one day a week though.
