Prince William and Kate Middleton are two of the most famous royals in the British crown because of their lovely interactions together as a married couple. The pair have gained the hearts of thousands, and special dates like Kate Middleton’s 42nd birthday deserve to be celebrated. Nevertheless, Prince William had other plans in mind.
King Charles III and Camilla Parker were the first to wish the Princess of Wales a happy birthday with a never-before-seen photo from their May 6 coronation day. However, Prince William interrupted this special day to honor the death of a legend in the rugby world.
The royal followers are aware of how much the Prince and Princess of Wales like rugby after they were seen supporting the Welsh and England teams during the 2023 Rugby World Cup. The rivalry between William and Kate is a healthy demonstration of their interests. Prince William posted a tribute to Welsh rugby legend, JPR Williams, who died on January 8 at age 74.
There was no one quite like him on the rugby field. A true @WelshRugbyUnion great, my thoughts are with JPR Williams’ family and friends. W.
Roedd e’n gymeriad unigryw ar y cae rygbi. Un o wir fawrion @WelshRugbyUnion, mae fy meddyliau gyda theulu a chyfeillion JPR Williams. W.

Even though Kate Middleton was celebrating her birthday along with the royal family, Prince William found it extremely important to issue a message of condolences to JPR William’s family. However, the Princess of Wales knows how important rugby is for William and the royal family as well.
