The Prince and Princess of Wales have remained silent following the release of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's bombshell trailer for their upcoming Netflix docuseries.

However, on Tuesday, Prince William released a special message to the Welsh Rugby Union after it was announced Warren Gatland has agreed to return as head coach for the Wales side.

"Thank you Wayne for everything you've done for @WelshRugbyUnion. Wishing you well for the future," the royal tweeted. "Wishing Warren Gatland the very best of luck for the run into the 6 Nations and Rugby World Cup." The message was then signed off with, "W".

The tweet comes shortly after Prince William and Princess Kate, both 40, finished their whirlwind tour of Boston. The trip was somewhat marred, however, when the Duke and Duchess of Sussex dropped two teasers for their tell-all documentary.

In a one-minute clip, which was released on Monday, Harry narrated: "It's really hard to look back on it now and go, 'What on earth happened?' There’s a hierarchy of the family, you know, there's leaking, but there’s also planting of stories. It's a dirty game."
