PRINCESS Kate and Prince William were seen bantering with fans as they support rival sides during England-Wales Six Nations rugby clash.
The royal couple were spotted gesturing lively amid the tournament as table guest laugh along at the family feud.
The highly-anticipated England vs Wales match has just kicked off at Principality Stadium in Cardiff.
England was "ready to embrace the hostility of Cardiff" according to England lock Ollie Chessum with one of the last games of the season set to be a good one.
Kate, 43, and William, 40 are patrons of the Rugby Football League (RFL) and Welsh Rugby Union (WRU) respectively.
With the animated pair rooting for rival teams there is likely some good-natured competition in the air.
Prior to the match the couple greeted injured players at the stadium supported by the Welsh Rugby Charitable Trust.
This comes as footy fan Prince William, 42, was spotted enjoying a matchday at Villa Park mixing with the other fans.
The royal has spoken of falling in love with Aston Villa after being taken to a match by friends as a boy.
He also revealed he visits fan forums anonymously online — and moves his kids around when watching at home to bring the team luck.
William said he was gripped by the “sense of belonging” and the passion of his fellow football fans.
When the new England boss Thomas Tuchel was appointed, the FA received criticism for choosing a foreigner rather than an Englishman.
However the royal gave Tuchel the royal seal of approval.
In an exclusive interview with SunSport, Prince William, now an FA patron after serving 18 years as president, said: “I understand the debate around having an English manager.
“But, to me, it should be the best person for the job — and Thomas is exactly the right person.
“Without doubt he is one of the top five managers in the world."
“It would be amazing if he could win the World Cup next year. It’s gearing up to that and it’s definitely possible."
