It marked Kate's first match since becoming patron of the Rugby Football Union earlier this month. Prince William has been patron of the Welsh Rugby Union since 2016.

The Cambridges were greeted by Jeff Blackett, President of the Rugby Football Union, and Gerald Davies, President of the Welsh Rugby Union upon arrival at the stadium.

William was dressed smartly in a suit, while Kate looked elegant in a houndstooth coat from Holland Cooper. 

Prior to kick off, the Cambridges also spoke to representatives of the RFU's community game, including volunteers and RFU council members.  

Upon their arrival at the stadium, the Duke encouraged his young son to shake hands with the representatives that were present.

The young royal had a cheeky pose as he waited for the pleasantries to be over!
