The 42-year-old Princess of Wales made a secret appearance. Kate Middleton supported her youngest son and his team at the match.
Prince William’s wife appeared at a school stadium where a match between children’s football teams is taking place.
Kate was rooting for her youngest son, 6-year-old Prince Louis. She chose a casual look for the walk, wearing her favorite cargo jacket, which she has been seen in public in more than once. It is a khaki model from Barbour x Alex Chung made of waxed cotton with a black corduroy collar. The princess last wore it in April last year during a joint visit with Prince William to South Wales.
The look was completed with slightly flared brown trousers, a light brown scarf and matching mittens, an olive-green Really Wild Clothing cap and a pistachio-colored handbag. Another boy’s mother, who was present at the match, told about the meeting with the representative of the British monarchy.
“I take my son to a football match at the weekend. As usual, when we arrived there were lots of people chatting, but the atmosphere was strange, not like usual. I was talking to one of my friends who I see there every week. I said, ‘What’s going on? What’s all the fuss about? It’s just a football match…’ She said, ‘If you turn around, Kate Middleton is over there with Louis. He’s on that team.’ My jaw dropped,” the Briton said.
The woman explained that Kate and Louis were accompanied by plainclothes bodyguards who were watching the situation nearby. “I thought, ‘Why on earth is she there? This is the weirdest thing in the world.’ Kate looked relaxed. She had very little make-up on.
She was clearly trying to remain unnoticed with her cap and clothes, but everyone knew it was her,” the eyewitness added.
Kate was emotionally supportive of her son, while she was chatting animatedly with the parents of other children on his team.
“She was standing there talking to the other mums on the football team. Louis looked like Louis. He was substituted in the game, but he didn’t play the whole game,” Harpers Bazaar quotes the woman as saying.
The heir to the throne’s wife has returned to royal duties after revealing in September that she had undergone treatment for cancer and was now free of cancer. Last week, Kate Middleton accompanied Prince William on a visit to Southport following the tragic knife attack in the seaside town in July.
