Summary

  • Kate Middleton arrived at Guards Polo Club for the annual Royal Charity Polo Cup, appearing alongside Prince William’s equerry, Squadron Leader Mike Reynolds, before William took the field.
  • William’s appearance at the charity match comes at the end of a packed week for the Waleses, with Kate visiting Evelina London Children’s Hospital on Monday and William carrying out engagements in west London and Hastings.
  • Kate is heading into another busy sporting stretch as patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, where she traditionally attends both Wimbledon singles finals to present trophies.
  • Prince Harry, though in the UK for separate engagements in Birmingham, did not join the polo event and is not expected to see William; he has not played in the Royal Charity Cup since 2019.
