Kevin Sinfield Should’ve Been Knighted ‘Years Ago’, Prince William Says
William said Sinfield should have been knighted years ago after the rugby league star completed seven ultramarathons in seven days for MND charities.
- The Prince of Wales praised former rugby league captain Sir Kevin Sinfield on Monday, saying he should have received a knighthood years ago. Sinfield accepted the honour at a recent Windsor Castle investiture ceremony.
- Inspired by his late Leeds Rhinos teammate Rob Burrow, who died from Motor Neurone Disease in 2024, Sinfield has raised millions for MND charities. The campaigner recently completed seven ultra-marathons in seven days.
- Prince William told BBC Breakfast that honouring Sinfield "was probably the easiest decision anyone's ever had to make," describing him as a "machine" who "binds and glues communities together."
- Beyond public accolades, William wrote to Burrow's wife, Lindsey, and their children following Rob's death, telling BBC Breakfast: "Everyone grieves differently and every circumstance is different so you need to take your time over it."
- Sinfield was one of 60 individuals honoured at the recent investiture ceremony, with William highlighting his "lack of ego" as a defining quality. The MND campaign continues uniting high-profile sportspeople and the public in shared support.
