Lady in Red: Kate Middleton at the Rugby World Cup

______________________________

Neither a chilly November rain nor a chilly Manchester breeze prevented Kate Middleton from looking flawless at the quarter-finals of the Rugby World Cup in Wigan. The Princess of Wales came to the game between England and Papa New Guinea to support the national team of her country. And, of course, she riveted everyone’s attention to herself. In the VIP box, Kate appeared in a bright image: a scarlet coat from Alexander McQueen, worn over a knit burgundy turtleneck dress, pointed suede boots and with a traditional poppy chest brooch – her representatives of the royal family wear in honor of the United Kingdom Memorial Day, which November 11th is celebrated in the UK. The final touches of Middleton’s autumn outfit were a sapphire engagement ring, pearl drop earrings and perfect styling with soft waves.

Tonight’s game was Kate’s first rugby match since she took over from Prince Harry as Rugby Football League and Rugby Union patron earlier in February this year in February. Harry has previously held the position since 2016, when he succeeded the late Queen Elizabeth.

I am so excited to be patron of the Rugby Football League and Rugby Football Union – two fantastic organizations that are committed to harnessing the power. Sports can help bring communities together and help people thrive. I look forward to working with them at all levels of play and rooting for England in what promises to be an exciting year for both sports! – then wrote Kate in his official account in social networks.
