\"KateKate Middleton celebrates women’s rugby stars after World Cup win<\/p>\n

Kate Middleton is proud of England Women\u2019s rugby team, Red Roses, for their “amazing achievement.”<\/p>\n

On January 15, the Princess of Wales hosted the women’s Rugby World Cup champions at Windsor Castle to mark their last autumn win against Canada.<\/p>\n

Taking it to her official Instagram account, the future queen offered glimpses into her “great day” spent with the World Cup winners.<\/p>\n

The first slide in the post featured Kate posing beside the trophy and holding a rugby team’s T-shirt with several autographs.<\/p>\n

“A great day hosting Women\u2019s Rugby World Cup winners @redrosesrugby today at Windsor!” the caption read.<\/p>\n

\"Kate<\/p>\n

“Congratulations to you all – what an achievement!” she added.<\/p>\n

In the carousel, the last snap showed a group photo of the whole team with Kate captured in one of the halls of Windsor Castle.<\/p>\n

During the event, Kate took a moment to praise the Women\u2019s rugby team that they had “inspired all the new generation” after their World Cup success, via Independent.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it really showed how accessible rugby is to so many types of girls, in different parts of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n

Moreover, the mom-of-three revealed her kids also like to play rugby.<\/p>\n

\u201cCharlotte is playing rugby but at home with the family, so she isn\u2019t yet at school, and I was asking how many schools are actually incorporating (rugby),” Kate shared. \u201cRugby is so accessible, Louis is playing touch rugby and it\u2019s such a great game.<\/p>\n

She added, \u201cActually, they shouldn\u2019t necessarily need to push boys and girls in particular sports too early.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously as they get physically stronger \u2013 George now, if we play at home, I do not want to get tackled by George \u2013 but, up to a certain age I think it\u2019s great.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kate Middleton celebrates women’s rugby stars after World Cup win Kate Middleton is proud of England Women\u2019s rugby…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":415560,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[567],"tags":[64,63,760,85],"class_list":{"0":"post-415559","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-rugby","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-rugby","11":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/415559","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=415559"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/415559\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/415560"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=415559"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=415559"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=415559"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
