Princess Catherine Stands Proudly by Prince William’s Side as Future King Returns to Beloved Charity Polo Tradition
The Princess of Wales attended her husband’s charity polo match at the Guards Polo Club in Windsor
rincess Kate was the ultimate devoted wife on Friday, attending Prince William’s charity polo match at the Guards Polo Club in Windsor.
While the Prince of Wales’ estranged brother, Prince Harry, delighted crowds in Birmingham, Prince William took part in the charity match – an activity he used to do alongside his brother, likely making it an emotional occasion for our future King.
Luckily, his wife was there to cheer him on – despite having spoken in the past about being allergic to horses – how’s that for dedication?
This year marks the 15th time Prince William has played in the match, which is set to raise funds for charities chosen by the Prince and Princess of Wales, including the Wales Air Ambulance (25th Anniversary), The Royal College of Paramedics (25th Anniversary), Shout, Ty Hafan, Forward Trust, Evelina London Children’s Hospital, Maternal Mental Health Alliance, We Are Farming Minds, The Passage, Royal Navy and Royal Marines Charity.

Pre-polo attire
Prince William arrived at the event in a cream linen jacket with dark trousers – so much more weather appropriate than his usual dark outfits, though we suspect he’ll be in his polo gear before we know it!
