Kate Middleton is once again living up to her unofficial nickname, the “Sporty Spice Princess”, and this time she’s doing it pitch side. During a recent visit to Wakefield Trinity Rugby Club, the Princess of Wales opened up about her own sporting background and how that love of activity is rubbing off on her children.

According to People magazine, Kate said she played “loads of netball” at school but never tried her hand at rugby or football. These days, though, sport is very much a family affair at home. While Princess Charlotte is not officially signed up to rugby, Kate revealed she happily joins in when they play together as a family. Prince Louis, meanwhile, attends “Rugbytots” sessions, and Prince George is clearly taking things seriously.
