Could Kate Spark England’s Luck at Rugby World Cup Semi-Finals?
The Princess of Wales, adorned in patriotic white, has been a keen spectator as England triumphed in both their Rugby World Cup matches.
The burning question now arises – could she potentially step onto the field to play against South Africa?
England is gearing up to face their most challenging opponent yet, the Springboks, in the semi-finals set in Paris.
Dubbed as Royal Pancakes, the Stade de France and the entire English fan base are holding onto hope for the Princess of Wales to grace them with her presence, considering the success the Royal Family has enjoyed during the tournament thus far.
Over the weekend, amidst a crowd of 60,000, Kate, a fervent supporter of English rugby union, jubilantly cheered on the team as they secured a spot in the semi-finals by defeating Fiji.
The atmosphere was electric as the Princess of Wales, a former Rugby World Cup player herself, joined the spectators in celebrating England’s impressive 27-10 victory over Argentina in the group stage.
With memories of their defeat to South Africa in the World Cup final four years ago still fresh, England is eager for redemption in the upcoming clash.
The looming uncertainty surrounds whether Kate will be able to make it to Paris for the crucial match.
The city is currently on high alert, bolstering security measures in the aftermath of the recent Israel-Gaza conflict, resulting in the closure of six airports in France due to looming threats of attacks.
Despite the challenges, fans are optimistic that Kate will once again sport the iconic patriotic white attire, hopefully bringing luck to the team on this third occasion.
During the recent outing, Kate opted for a £30 recycled Buclay blazer in white from Zara, showcasing her support for the national team.
