“They’re all enjoying it,” she said of her children’s enthusiasm for the sport, noting that Louis is a “kamikaze.” The royal mom of three admitted, “We’re worrying about when he gets older, he’ll be in the middle of everything.”

Kate also shared that her eight-year-old son Prince George plays rugby and netball with girls and boys at his school, Thomas’s Battersea. The Duchess said, “Now that there is a move towards co-ed sport, so it’s not just girls playing netball, but other sports like rugby, which is great.”
