00:00 Kate Middleton and Prince William are gearing up for a rugby rivalry.
00:04 Princess Kate and Prince William, both 41, are heading to France for the Rugby World Cup this weekend,
00:10 and will be supporting different teams.
00:12 Their office at Kensington Palace has confirmed that Kate will attend the group stage match between England and Argentina in Marseille on Sept.
00:27 9, while William is set to watch Wales take on Fiji in a group stage match in Bordeaux on Sept.
00:39 10. The diverging games are not surprising.
00:49 Kate is patron of the rugby football union that governs the game in England,
00:53 while William is a long-standing patron of the Welsh rugby union.
00:56 The sports-loving couple enjoy a light-hearted rivalry and will savour swapping banter about their team's respective successes at the games.
01:10 William and Kate often play tennis at home, and line up against each other at sailing or other sports during official engagements.
01:24 They memorably took part in a regatta in the Bahamas during an official tour of the Caribbean in March last year.
01:37 In the bombs, local Lissa McComb, told People how exciting the couple's sailing competition had been.
01:50 "She had a really exciting time. She thoroughly enjoyed it," McComb told People.
02:01 "She said they nearly had a man overboard and she was at the tiller at the time.
02:11 She had one hand on the tiller and one on the guy at the same time."
02:15 In the spring, Kate combined her leadership of the Shaping Us initiative for early years development
02:26 and the role sports can play in helping mental health when she took part in training at a club in Berkshire, England.
02:39 Although Kate's team lost that day, Stephen Bough, chairman of Maidenhead Rugby Club, was impressed with her skills.
02:46 "She's obviously been practising. Her ball sills and passing skills are very good.
03:03 She was there, blending in playing as one of the team," he told People. "To be honest, I didn't realise she was there half the time."
