Prince William Hails Wales Win at Cardiff Six Nations Finale

His WRU patronage appearance coincided with Wales snapping a years-long Six Nations drought.

Overview

  • The Prince of Wales attended the Wales vs Italy match at the Principality Stadium in his role as patron of the Welsh Rugby Union.
  • Wales secured their first Six Nations victory in three years, with the Prince later sharing a congratulatory post and video montage on the couple’s official Instagram account.
  • Before kick-off, he was photographed speaking with WRU leaders Abi Tierney, Richard Collier-Keywood and Terry Cobner.
  • Wales entered the final round on four straight defeats and fighting to avoid finishing bottom, while Italy arrived buoyed by their first-ever Six Nations win over England the previous weekend.
  • His visit coincided with the serialisation of Tom Bower’s new royal book, which drew a forceful rebuttal from the Sussexes’ spokesperson disputing its claims.
