Prince William and Catherine's surprise visit to Kevin Sinfield's charity run
The royal couple praised his fundraising for motor neurone disease after Sinfield raised more than £11 million for charities since 2020.
On Tuesday, Prince William and Kate visited AMT Headingley Rugby Stadium, home of the Leeds Rhinos, to learn how the club and Leeds Rhinos Foundation use sport to support the local community.
The royal couple learned about the enduring impact of former player Rob Burrow, who passed in 2024 after living with Motor Neurone Disease, and how his legacy continues to inspire the Rhinos family.
William and Kate met former Leeds Rhinos stars Jamie Jones-Buchanan and Danny McGuire; Jones-Buchanan told them, "What he lacked in size he made up for in his voice."
The Leeds Rhinos Foundation supports people living with Parkinson's, dementia and other conditions, generating more than £10 in social value for every £1 invested.
Kate, patron of the Rugby Football League, wished players heading to the Rugby League World Cup next month good luck, following her recent visit to the Royal Marsden Hospital.
