A post shared by Duke and Duchess of Cambridge (@dukeandduchessofcambridge) Kate’s day out at Twickenham Studios marked one of the rare occasions when we get to see the duchess in ‘sporty mode’! Her outfit was the official England Rugby tracksuit, which she paired with Adidas sneakers and a ponytail. In a caption, the duchess said, “Fantastic to meet the players, staff and referees representing the sport at the highest level. “Even put the ???? on to get a taste of how the teams train.” Another post had a more personal message from Kate: “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!
