The Prince of Wales remains gracious despite Wales’ heavy defeat
Prince William has issued a new message following his unexpected prediction
about Wales’ Six Nations rugby match against England.
The Prince of Wales, who serves as the patron of the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU),
attended the game at Cardiff’s Principality Stadium on Saturday alongside
Catherine. Despite his hopes for a strong performance, Wales suffered a
crushing 14-68 defeat.
However, William remained in good spirits, sharing a message of gratitude
after the match. Kensington Palace posted photos of him interacting with Welsh
players, accompanied by the caption, “Good to be back in Cardiff today. Thank
you for the welcome, @welshrugbyunion,” also written in Welsh.
Before the match, William had cautiously predicted England’s victory,
referencing their decision to swap out key players. Speaking to injured
athletes supported by the Welsh Rugby Charitable Trust, he remarked, “England
have made those changes to give us a chance, I think… I think they’ve got a
lot to play for today. I think they might get a result today.”
Despite the disappointing outcome for Wales, the Prince maintained his
trademark sportsmanship, reinforcing his support for the team.
