Louis, the “Kamikaze” of the Royal Family
During the day, the couple not only talked about rugby but also shared details of their children’s sports routine. In a casual comment, William explained that the royal family’s weekends are usually “one competition after another.” Kate added: “Louis is six years old and has just started with touch rugby…”
This comment is not the first time Kate has revealed the active and adventurous personality of her youngest son. In 2022, she had already shared in an interview that Louis has boundless energy and could be at the center of all the action. “We’re worried that when he grows up, he’ll be at the center of everything,” said Kate, reflecting her concern for her son’s vitality and character.

From Family Tradition to the Children’s Rugby
Kate also talked about how rugby has always been an important part of her life since childhood. According to her sister, Pippa Middleton, rugby was not only a sport in their family but also a social event. “We planned our weekends around important matches,” recalled Pippa, adding that family gatherings revolved around international matches, joined by comforting meals.
Meanwhile, the three children of the Princes of Wales have shown great interest in a variety of sports, such as tennis, gymnastics, and, of course, soccer. Prince George, 11 years old, is a regular companion of his father at soccer matches. As for Princess Charlotte, her support for the England women’s soccer team during the 2022 Euro Cup made everything clear.
