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.
