The Princess of Wales was a good luck charm for England as she cheered them on against Fiji in the Rugby World Cup on Sunday, seeing them through to the semi-final.
Princess Kate, 42, who is the patron of the Rugby Football Union, looked immaculate as ever to watch the match. Donning an expertly styled hybrid of high street and designer, the wife of Prince William rocked a Zara bouclé blazer with a £3,960 Chanel mini flap bag.
Despite her impeccable fashion sense, the mother-of-three wasn’t immune to a fashion faux pas as she stepped out at the Stade de Marseille. Royal fans were quick to pick up on live footage of the Princess from the event, which was aired on live TV.
The royal was seated next to rugby legend Sir Bill Beaumont CBE and his wife, Lady Hilary Beaumont, who appeared to be wearing the exact same blazer as the Princess of Wales.
“That lady is wearing the same jacket!” wrote a royal watcher on X, formerly known as Twitter, as another wrote: “Imagine turning up in the same outfit as the Princess of Wales, I’d be thrilled!” along with a red love heart.
The Princess didn’t seem to be phased by her accidental twinning fashion moment, keeping her focus on the game and celebrating proudly when England reached their victory.
Princess Kate asked Sir Bill, who is chairman of World Rugby, if he was “still surviving” after all the games so far, to which he replied: “Absolutely,” adding that it had been “brilliant” and he had seen 18 matches.
Sir Bill then asked if Prince George had enjoyed attending the match on Saturday with Prince William, to which Kate replied: “He did, he loved it so much.”
