*******************************
I am so thrilled to become Patron of the Rugby Football League and Rugby Football Union – two fantastic organisations who are committed to harnessing the power that sport can have in bringing communities together and helping individuals flourish. I look forward to working with them across all levels of the games, and to cheering England on in what promises to be an exciting year for both sports! C
'Kate is a rugby fan and grew up watching England games with her family, long before her 2011 marriage to William, who is patron of the Welsh Rugby Union. In 2015 she attended the rugby World Cup, hosted by England. Two years later, she was gripped by the France v Wales Six Nations match, during an official visit to Paris, in which Wales were narrowly beaten.
The duchess’s sister, Pippa, wrote about the family obsession with rugby for Vanity Fair magazine in 2014: “Picture the scene. It’s Saturday afternoon in the Middleton household. The atmosphere is heavy with expectation. All eyes are on the television ... we’re watching England play Ireland in the 1996 Five Nations Rugby tournament ... Rugby was a big thing in our family, and the focal point was international matches ... We’d plan our weekends around the matches ... If we lost, my dad would be in a state of despair for the rest of the afternoon, as if he’d actually lost the game himself.”
Established in 1895, The Rugby Football League is the national governing body for Rugby League in the UK – covering all forms of grassroots and the professional game, including women's and wheelchair rugby.
The Rugby Football Union, founded in 1871, is the national governing body for grassroots and elite rugby union in England and with 1,900 member clubs is one of the largest sports organisations in the country.
visited the England men’s and women’s squads during a training session at Twickenham.
Kate, who is now patron of the Rugby Football Union (RFU), taking over from Prince Harry, was cheered when she allowed herself to be lifted high during line-out practice.
The duchess, who is known for her love of sport also showed her catching, throwing and kicking skills and even scored a try during a practice routine.
the women’s team presented her with junior England kits for George, Princess Charlotte and Louis, Kate told them:
“I’m very proud to be here. I’ve got lots to learn, I’ve been looking at different players and tactics.”

She also gave a yelp, laughed and shouted
“That’s high” when she was hoisted up during one lift.
Kate told of her children’s enthusiasm for rugby, saying George plays the sport at school and three-year-old daredevil Louis likes to be in the “middle of everything”.
She described how eight-year-old George takes part in both rugby and netball with girls and boys at Thomas’s Battersea, adding: “Now that there is a move towards co-ed sport, so it’s not just girls playing netball, but other sports like rugby, which is great.”
The duchess added of her youngsters’ love of rugby: “They’re all enjoying it, Louis is kamikaze, we’re worrying about when he gets older, he’ll be in the middle of everything.”
Hunter joked: “That’s perfect!”

Kate’s new affiliation with England Rugby puts her in direct competition with husband the Duke of Cambridge, who is the Welsh Rugby Union’s patron.
She laughed when Ellis Genge, England and Leicester Tigers prop, asked her about the new rivalry with William, and admitted it would “make things interesting”.
Kate said: “Ha, yes, what does that mean? We’re terribly competitive.
“The fact we’re now supporting two different teams is going to make things interesting.”
William and Kate are expected to attend some England and Wales games during the Six Nations tournament.
