Catherine seen in public for first time since Andrew's dramatic arrest
The Princess of Wales has attended her first official royal event since the dramatic arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on Thursday.
The Princess put on a brave face for the official outing to attend a 2026 Guinness Six Nations rugby match on Saturday.
Catherine is a patron of the Rugby Football Union and watched on as England defeated Ireland in the match, which was played in London.

The Prince of Wales did not join her.
The solo outing came just two days after the former Prince Andrew was arrested in dramatic fashion when police visited his temporary home at Wood Farm on the King's Sandringham Estate on what was his 66th birthday.
Dramatic images of Andrew being driven in a car have since been beamed around the world and are a stark reminder of how far the son of the late Queen Elizabeth II has fallen.
Carloads of police arrived at the former bolthole of his father Prince Philip at about 8am on February 19 (London time) and arrested Mountbatten-Windsor on suspicion of misconduct in public office.

He was driven to Aylsham police station in Norfolk, England, where he was held for 11 hours before being released without charge.
Within hours of his brother's arrest, King Charles released a statement saying the police investigation had "our full and wholehearted support and co-operation".
"I have learned with the deepest concern the news about Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and suspicion of misconduct in public office," the statement said.
"What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities.
"In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation.

"Let me state clearly: the law must take its course.
"As this process continues, it would not be right for me to comment further on this matter.
"Meanwhile, my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all."
He signed the statement "Charles R".

But Saturday's football match was the first public appearance of either the Prince or Princess of Wales since the dramatic arrest.
The couple was just miles away, from the scene of the arrest, at their country home Amner Hall, which is also located on the Sandringham Estate, with their three children, who are currently on a break from school.
They usually visit their country home whenever their schedule allows them to leave Windsor, which has been their main base since shortly before the Queen's death in 2022.
