Prince George turned up to England v Wales and didn't know who to support

Prince George was caught between rival supporters as he watched Wales take on England in the Six Nations.

The young royal was a surprise guest at Saturday's game at Twickenham, which he attended with his parents, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.

But the eight-year-old was left unsure who to cheer for, as Prince William - who is the patron of the Welsh Rugby Union - and Kate - who was recently made patron of the Rugby Football Union - went head to head with their sporting rivalry.

The Duke and Duchess showed their support for the opposing teams by donning England and Wales scarves, while George remained diplomatic, sporting a red and blue puffer jacket, with no symbols or badges.

In January, the Queen gave Kate the patronages of the RFU and Rugby Football League, with these roles formerly held by Prince Harry before he stepped back as a working royal.

Before kick-off, the Cambridges met representatives of the RFU’s community and grassroots game, volunteers and RFU council members, with Kate telling them that George had "tackled" her after taking up rugby, the Mirror reports.

Asked who he would be supporting at Saturday's game, the young prince shrugged, before looking at William, who laughed: "It’s become quite the thing in the house. [Kate] is quite into it, I’m trying to stay out of it."

He added: "It's a big game. We’re excited. It’s just so good to be back, it’s been quite weird watching games, and football, without the fans."

Kate then asked George to tell the group about how he has started playing rugby at his school, with the eight-year-old explaining how he started learning how to tackle, before turning to his mother and saying: "But I haven’t tackled you yet!"

Laughing, Kate replied: "Yes you have!"
