Kate Middleton’s Stylish Support
Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, looked delighted as she witnessed England’s victory over Fiji in the Rugby World Cup quarter-final.
The 41-year-old royal displayed her signature smart dressing by donning a £30 white blazer from Zara, a garment she has worn on previous occasions.
Kate, who was spotted singing the national anthem at Stade de Marseille, may have brought good luck to the Red Roses, as she had overseen their earlier triumph against Argentina in the same stadium.
George’s Absence and Diverse Supporters
Notably, Prince George did not accompany Kate to the match. Instead, she was joined by Bill Beaumont, the chairperson of World Rugby, and Rob Bryers, President of the RFU.
Tens of thousands of England fans filled the sun-kissed city to support their team.
Supporters even dressed as knights, creating a festive atmosphere with renditions of popular songs, including “Sweet Caroline.”
Belief in England’s Victory
England faced a tough opponent in Fiji, who had previously defeated them at Twickenham earlier in the year. However, dedicated fans like Blair Sales and his son Seb, who dressed as knights, expressed their confidence in England’s performance.
Others, such as Debbie Harris and Mike Taylor, came dressed as characters from “Paddington 2,” hoping that England would secure a win.
Fiji’s Perspective and the Stakes
Fijians, too, had high hopes for their team, with Isireli Vulaidausiga and Waisea Boginisoki traveling from the Pacific island to attend the match.
Their team had experienced a surprising defeat to Portugal in a previous match, making this quarter-final a crucial encounter.
