The Princess of Wales has joined some of England’s World Cup-winning wheelchair rugby league squad for a practice session.
Kate sat in a wheelchair and tried her hand at the sport during a rugby league inclusivity day staged in Hull in her role as patron of the Rugby Football League. England hosted the World Cup last November and beat their old rivals and reigning champions France 28-24 in a closely fought final. Their efforts helped to elevate the standing of the sport, the most inclusive format across rugby league allowing players, regardless of gender or disability, to compete together.
The princess celebrated their success by inviting the squad to Hampton Court Palace for a reception in January and said at the time she, William and their three children had watched the final on television – and youngest son Prince Louis was a keen rugby player. The day was hosted by the Rugby Football League, Hull FC and the the University of Hull and staged at the university’s Allam Sport Centre.
