Prince William and Kate Middleton bring Prince George along to rugby as their patron teams verse each other in rival match

Prince William and Kate Middleton brought Prince George along to this year's Six Nations rugby game, and as the diplomat that he is, he wore colours for the rival teams of his parents.

Wearing a red and blue puffer jacket, Prince George, 8, was seen walking alongside his parents as they entered the lobby at Twickenham Stadium, ready to see Wales take on England.

While red is the classic colour for Wales, blue and white, as well as a red English rose are the colours for England. George seemed to channel this on the day, understanding the comical divide between his parents, with Kate as the new patron for the English Rugby Union and William as patron of the Welsh Rugby Union since 2016.

While Prince George seemed to be appeasing both sides, Prince William showed his support for Wales wearing a red tie and dark suit. Meanwhile, Kate draped an English supporter's scarf around her neck.

This weekend's match was the first Kate has watched as patron of the union, and she appeared to be having a ball, standing next to George and William in the stands.

Before the game began, the royals met with officials in the stadium lobby and shook hands.

They then proceeded to their seats, for the 23rd Six Nations Championship. The Six Nations competition is an annual rugby union competition that sees the national teams of England, France, Ireland, Italy, Scotland, and Wales play against each other.

This year, Wales were defending champions, and the anticipation for the beloved team by William was clear in his eyes. Unfortunately, his team didn't face up to the pressure, and lost to England 23-19.

As the future Prince of Wales — which is currently the role of his father, Prince Charles — William has always done his bit to support the nation, particularly when it comes to the important stuff, like rugby.

He has been known to passionately sing along to the Welsh national anthem, 'Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau' at matches.

Interestingly, the Prince of Wales title, which by tradition, goes to the eldest son of the British Royal family, isn't an automatic title. It is often crowned once a prince accedes as heir-apparent. In the case of Prince Charles, he received the title in 1958, some six years after he became heir-apparent.
