Princess of Wales hosts England women’s rugby winners at Windsor
The Princess of Wales celebrated the Red Roses’ third Rugby World Cup win with a reception at Windsor Castle, highlighting the team’s role in inspiring a new generation, officials said.
Yesterday, Catherine, Princess of Wales hosted a reception at Windsor Castle to mark England women's rugby team’s World Cup triumph in her first solo 2026 engagement.
As patron of the Rugby Football Union, Catherine, Princess of Wales, followed the Red Roses' campaign and organised a reception recognising their first World Cup win since 2014 and autumn victory over Canada.
At Windsor, the World Cup trophy was displayed and the players wore their winning medals while the Band of the Irish Guards welcomed them and Zoe Stratford presented gifts including a signed England shirt.
The reception emphasised the team's national impact and recognition as the Princess hailed their 'amazing achievement' and England players and head coach John Mitchell received MBEs and OBEs.
After a coach breakdown prevented a private tour, Catherine, Princess of Wales, wore a red McQueen suit and garnet necklace while joining a cowboy hat and lasso dance soon.
