Kate Middleton: Beaming in Blonde for England's Rugby Victory!

The Princess of Wales looked jubilant today as she cheered on England's Red Roses from the stands at the Brighton & Hove Albion Stadium

PRINCESS OF WALES' SPORTY SIDE EXPOSED: Kate Middleton's Beachy New Look Steals the Show as She Cheers on England at Women's Rugby World Cup

The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, 43, has been making waves with her new look - and we're not just talking about her stunning blonde tresses! The royal mom-of-three was spotted beaming in the stands at the Brighton & Hove Albion Stadium as she cheered on England's Red Roses against Australia in their Women's Rugby World Cup match.

But what really got our attention was Kate's effortless style, which seemed to scream "summer vibes" despite the autumnal weather. Her new 'bronde' hairstyle has been making headlines in recent weeks, and we can see why - it's a fresh take on her classic brunette locks that perfectly captures the essence of her sun-kissed summer getaway with husband Prince William.

And speaking of William, he was nowhere to be found at today's match. Instead, Kate was spotted chatting with Alan Gilpin, CEO of World Rugby, before the teams took to the field. We're guessing he was probably rooting for Wales - after all, his team narrowly lost to Fiji earlier in the day, which means they won't be progressing to the quarter finals.

But don't worry, Wales' women's team still have our full support! And it seems Kate is right behind them, having taken on her role as Patron of the Rugby Football Union from Prince Harry back in 2022. We're loving how sporty Kate has become - who knew she'd make such a great rugby fan?

According to insiders, the royal family's love for rugby runs deep. Pippa Middleton (Kate's sister) even revealed that their family would plan weekends around big matches when they were kids! And now, it seems like the Prince and Princess of Wales are passing on this tradition to their own kids - but who exactly do they support? William has jokingly said that Kate is more into rugby than he is, while Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6, might be torn between supporting Dad's Wales or Mum's England.

The couple have both been sharing their support for the teams on social media - but we're guessing it's all just a bit of fun. After all, as Kate said in her message to the Red Roses, "I look forward to cheering you on and seeing the team rise to the challenge on home soil!" Ah, isn't that just the sweetest?

As for the rest of the royal family, Prince Harry sent his condolences privately to the Kent family after the passing of the Duchess of Kent earlier this week. William and Kate also paid a heartfelt tribute to her, describing how she had "worked tirelessly to help others" and would be "much missed".

And speaking of tributes, we couldn't help but notice the touching display of affection between Prince William and his wife as they visited the Natural History Museum in London earlier this week. The pair was seen laughing together under an umbrella as it poured with rain - and we can see why they're still one of our favorite royal couples!

So, who knew Kate's summer break would be so eventful? Not only did she get to spend quality time with her family on their yacht trip around the Greek islands (complete with a new hair color to boot!), but now she's been spotted cheering on her favorite team at the Women's Rugby World Cup. One thing's for sure - we can't wait to see what other exciting adventures Kate has up her sleeve!

And don't even get us started on her accessories! The Princess of Wales paired her outfit with a natural sweep of make-up and added some serious sparkle with her:

  • Alphabet necklace from Daniella Draper (£495) - featuring the initials of her three kids: George, Charlotte, and Louis
  • Princess Diana's sapphire engagement ring (a classic choice, if we do say so ourselves!)

Kate's Rugby Roots: From Supporting Wales to Cheering on England

It seems like Kate Middleton has always had a passion for rugby - and now, she's passing it down to her kids. As Patron of the Rugby Football Union, Kate has been a long-time supporter of the sport (we're guessing that's why William joked about needing a referee at home!). But what really caught our attention was when Pippa Middleton revealed in 2014 that their family would plan weekends around big matches when they were kids!

And now, it seems like Kate is carrying on this tradition with her own children.

Who do you think they'll support in the end? Share your thoughts with us in the comments!

The Royal Family's Rugby History: A Tradition Passed Down Through Generations

But what about Prince William's team? Wales might have lost to Fiji earlier in the day, but we're guessing he'll still be cheering them on. After all, as William said on Mike Tindall's podcast The Good, The Bad and The Rugby, "It's become quite the thing in the house." Ah, can't help but feel a bit of sibling rivalry brewing here!

The Couple's Social Media Support: Who Are They Cheering For?

As Kate Middleton cheered on England at the Women's Rugby World Cup, her husband Prince William was spotted chatting with Alan Gilpin, CEO of World Rugby. We're guessing he might have been there to offer some support for Wales - after all, they were playing against Fiji just a few hours earlier.

Smiling from the stands and clapping, the Princess appeared to be enjoying the gripping match

But on social media, both Kate and William have been showing their love for the teams. Here are some highlights:

  • Kate's message to the Red Roses: "I look forward to cheering you on and seeing the team rise to the challenge on home soil!"
  • William's message in Welsh and English: "Good luck to Wales Women as they kick off their Rugby World Cup campaign against Scotland today! Pob lwc, Cymru – ewch amdani! W."

It seems like the Prince and Princess of Wales are just having a bit of fun - but we can't help but love how enthusiastic they both are about the sport!

The Royal Family's Love for Sports: From Rugby to Tennis

Kate Middleton has always been a sporty royal mom, what with her passion for tennis and hockey (we've even seen her take on Prince William in dragon boating!). But it seems like rugby is also a favorite of hers - after all, she took over as Patron of the Rugby Football Union from Prince Harry back in 2022.

And speaking of sports, we can't help but love how Kate has been embracing her sporty side lately. Who knew that spending time in the sun would give her such a fabulous new hair color?
