Princess Kate, who made her highly anticipated return to competition on Friday, narrowly avoided an embarrassing mistake in William’s polo victory.
The Princess of Wales was on hand at Guards Polo Club in Egham to cheer on her husband and his victorious teammates in her first appearance at the prestigious event since 2023 following her cancer treatment and recovery.
Their appearance comes amid reports of Harry and Meghan meeting King Charles and Queen Camilla – a meeting which also reportedly included Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
The trophy presentation took an unexpected turn when a player went to lift the cup for a group photo.
The trophy wobbled precariously on its base and nearly fell onto Kate’s feet.
The moment was filmed, showing Catherine laughing at the near miss as the future monarch first covered her face in disbelief before smiling.
After the match, the royal couple shared an unusual public display of affection, with Catherine greeting her husband with a kiss on the cheek as he walked off the pitch, still dressed in his riding boots and jersey.
The two were then seen walking hand in hand as they left.
