As the rugby world gathers for the much-anticipated Rugby World Cup in France, three distinguished members of the British royal family have made headlines by appearing on “The Good The Bad & The Rugby,” a renowned weekly rugby podcast that has garnered a global following.
A snippet from the podcast, featuring Prince William, Kate Middleton, and Princess Anne, was recently shared on the official Instagram account of the Prince and Princess of Wales, offering a fascinating glimpse into their discussions.
The caption accompanying the Instagram clip aptly read, “Engaging in a great discussion encompassing rugby and various other topics on @GoodBadRugby.”
Prince William and Kate Middleton are set to grace France with their presence in support of their respective rugby teams. Kensington Palace has officially confirmed that Kate will be attending the England versus Argentina group stage match in Marseille on September 9, while Prince William is gearing up to watch Wales face Fiji in a thrilling group stage clash in Bordeaux on September 10.
The significance of their attendance extends beyond personal interest, as the Princess of Wales holds the esteemed position of patron for the Rugby Football Union, which governs the sport in England. Similarly, Prince William has long served as a dedicated patron of the Welsh Rugby Union.
Princess Anne, another fervent supporter of rugby and the Patron of the Scottish Rugby Union, is also set to make her presence felt at the Rugby World Cup International match featuring Scotland and Ireland in France on October 7, 2023.
These appearances on “The Good The Bad & The Rugby” podcast not only underscore the royal family’s passionate commitment to the sport but also provide a unique platform for them to share their insights and enthusiasm for rugby with a broader audience. It’s a compelling intersection of royalty and sport that adds an extra layer of excitement to the Rugby World Cup and reaffirms the enduring appeal and influence of rugby in the global sporting landscape.
