Peter Phillips, son of HRH Princess Royal, will be the guest of honour at the 2012 Carnegie Challenge Cup Final.
The 34-year old Royal – who is eleventh in line to the throne and the grandson of the Queen – will attend the showpiece match between Leeds Rhinos and
Warrington Wolves at Wembley Stadium on Saturday August 25, kick-off 2.30pm.
Peter Phillips will be the first member of the Royal family to attend the cup final since The Duke of Edinburgh in 1995 and will be on hand to present the trophy to the winning captain.
“We are delighted that Peter Phillips is our chief guest at the Carnegie Challenge Cup Final and look forward to welcoming him to what is set to be a magnificent occasion,” said Acting RFL Chairman Maurice Watkins CBE.
“It’s a great honour to have a member of the Royal Family attending one of Rugby League’s biggest events and I am sure he will enjoy what promises to be a tremendous event.”

Very sporty branch of the family, the Phillips lot, aren't they?

Was it Peter Philips who when playing for his school's union side got involved with a scrap with a bunch of local lads somewhere in Scotland?
I don't remember the details, but one of the local lads was quoted in the papers saying something like "it was a quiet night out - who could have imagined it would end up with me brawling with a member of the royal family?"

There will be a few people along shortly wishing it was them who 'thumped' a Royal!
