Sibling rivalry superceded brotherly love for the Princes who are notoriously competitive when it comes to sport.

According to the publication, Wales holds a special place for the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge since it’s where they lived prior to getting married in April 2011. On top of that William was also wearing Welsh official team jacket while Harry was wearing a white England shirt. Kate appeared to be very much in her husband’s camp and was also seen beaming at the Welsh triumph.

William and Kate, who recently returned to the spotlight following maternity leave, joined forces to cheer on Wales, while Harry showed his loyalty to the host nation England.

The couple’s affection for Wales likely dates back to their time there before their wedding in 2011, where they shared a farmhouse in Anglesey for several years.

In case you didn’t know, Prince Harry is Honorary President of England Rugby and Prince William is Vice-Patron of the Welsh Rugby Union. Wales was able to come up from behind with just a few more minutes left.
