The royal couple's unexpected presence on "The Good, The Bad and The Rugby" podcast, hosted by former rugby player Mike Tindall, delighted fans and coincided with Harry's engagement at the Invictus Games in Germany.
During the podcast, the Prince and Princess of Wales, who are preparing to travel to France for the Rugby World Cup, joined Mike Tindall and Princess Anne in a lively discussion about sports. The clip of their conversation was shared on William and Kate's official social media accounts, where they revealed their deep affection for sports.
The engaging discussion between Prince William and Kate featured numerous anecdotes from their own sporting experiences, shedding light on why activities like rugby hold a special place in their hearts.
Interestingly, their podcast appearance may have inadvertently overshadowed Prince Harry's involvement in the opening ceremony of the Invictus Games, which coincidentally took place at the same time in Germany.
James Haskell, Mike's podcast co-host, quizzed the Prince and Princess of Wales about their willingness to participate in a parents' sports day event. Kate confirmed that they had already taken part, while James playfully brought up the friendly rivalry between Kate and William, known for their competitiveness.
Kate humorously responded, "I don't know where this has come from," and added, "I don't think we've actually been able to finish a game of tennis. It becomes a mental challenge between the two of us." William chimed in, confirming their mutual effort to "out-mental" each other for victory.
As the conversation shifted towards the younger generation, Anne shared her thoughts on whether Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis were picking up the competitive streak. She commented, "Just a little bit, I think."
Kate then revealed, "They're all of different temperaments, and as they're growing and trying out different sports, it's going to be interesting to see how that grows and develops." The royal couple's candid and engaging discussion on the podcast was met with enthusiasm from their fans.
