Prince William and Kate Middleton were spotted looking tense supporting rival teams at a rugby match this weekend, as a lip reading expert revealed what the princess had to say.

Despite both being born in England, it seems the Prince and Princess of Wales were on two opposing sides at the Six Nations rugby game this weekend (15 March).

Wales took on England during the match, but failed miserably to secure a win after losing 14-68 to the English side.

Prince William, 42, was cheering for Wales throughout the game, having been patron of the Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) since 2016.

And it isn't the first time the royal couple have been competitive over rugby.

In 2023, William noted that it would be a 'tense journey home' with his wife, following the Six Nations Wales v England match in Cardiff.

The 43-year-old looked tense as she whispered a comment to Rob Udwin, president of the RFU, who was sat next to her for the game.

Speaking to The Mirror, a lip reader confirmed that the Princess looked nervous ahead of the match, despite England taking the win without too much trouble.

The expert also deciphered what they thought Kate whispered to Udwin.

This apparently was: "He is nervous, I can see he is."

While it was unclear who exactly the royal was referring to, Rob replied: "He is certainly not an amateur, he is very impressive."

Agreeing, Kate added: "He plays very well as I imagined."

The Princess was spotted beaming throughout the game, as it became more and more apparent who was going to win.

The Principality Stadium in Cardiff holds a capacity of 74,500 people, but a lot of Welsh fans appeared to leave the ground early to avoid witnessing the defeat.

Prince William appeared sombre in his bright red scarf, showing his support for the Welsh side.

And the royals visited both changing rooms to speak to the players following the game.

Pippa Middleton previously spoke to Vanity Fair about her sister's love for the sport in 2014.

She said: "Rugby was a big thing for our family, we'd plan our weekends around the big matches."
