England’s Rugby World Cup journey has been nothing short of remarkable, and they now face their toughest challenge yet as they prepare to take on South Africa in the semi-finals.
As the nation eagerly awaits the clash at the Stade de France, there is speculation about whether the Princess of Wales, Kate, will be present to support the team.
With England’s recent successes coinciding with her attendance, fans are hopeful that she may prove to be their lucky charm once again.
In their previous two matches, England emerged victorious, and both times Kate was there to witness the triumphs.
Last weekend, she passionately raised her fist as England defeated Fiji, securing their place in the semi-finals.
Prior to that, the Princess of Wales, who herself has a history of playing rugby, cheered on England as they dominated Argentina with a resounding 27-10 victory.
The stakes are high for England, who are seeking redemption against South Africa after their defeat in the World Cup final four years ago in Japan.
The Springboks, having triumphed over France 29-28 in the quarter-finals, pose a formidable challenge.
However, it remains uncertain whether Kate will be able to join the England fans in Paris due to heightened security measures following recent tensions.
Kate has consistently shown her support for England by donning patriotic white attire during her trips across the channel.
This time, she opted for a £30 recycled Buclay blazer from Zara, showcasing her commitment to sustainable fashion.
As anticipation builds, fans hope that her presence will bring luck to the team once again, making it a third-time lucky charm for both her and England.
