Princess of Wales Sends Message of Support to England Rugby League Teams Ahead of World Cup in Australia

The Princess of Wales has personally wished England's men's, women's, and wheelchair rugby league teams good luck as they travel to Australia to compete in the Rugby League World Cup. As patron of the Rugby Football League and Rugby Football Union since February 2022, the Princess has been a consistent supporter of the sport. All three England sides are set to compete across venues in Perth, Wollongong, Sydney, and Brisbane.

Ahead of the Australian tournament's opening round, Catherine met separately with the men's, women's, and wheelchair squads to deliver words of support to each group. Ties between Catherine and sport have been documented across her public schedule, and she marked the occasion by passing on her good wishes to the players, coaches, and support staff travelling to the world stage with the England contingent. The release came as all three national teams were landing in Australia, each carrying ambitions of winning on foreign soil. With their group-stage opener scheduled at a Perth venue, the men's team are set to meet a Tonga outfit that has drawn genuine attention from observers ahead of what the squad anticipates will be a path through to the Brisbane finals. Opening fixtures place them against neighbouring Wales, before a meeting with host nation Australia — among the sides that betting markets and pundits have positioned as frontrunners for the title — looms later in the group stage. Entering the tournament as holders of the World Cup — a trophy they claimed on their own turf — the wheelchair team now sets its sights on defending that standing. Fixture locations spread across Perth, Wollongong, Sydney, and Brisbane leave supporters in Britain facing early-morning starts if they want to catch live action from the tournament.
