I reckon the Duchess of Kent may have given Kate a bit of personal engagement training.

[johnh1]

Brilliant that she is there and taking a real interest.

[DavidM]

I like Kate

Bloody hell. Shake their hands and move along.

It'll take her 10 minutes to realise Bateman is speaking English.

Wow we moan at the quality of the guest of honours at RL game,we finally get royalty who shows a real interest in the players taking part & the mascots who might go on to emulate those players & we still whinge,only in Rugby League.

OK, I'm going with Sandi Toksvig and Giant Haystacks.

[bratman]

Is she staying for the match in the Royal Wigan box?

[snapski]

I think thats been  a fantastic advert for our sport. Looks like she genuinely cares about people.

Fair play IMO. Real engagement from the Princess of Wales.

Agree. I think it's great to see her taking the time to chat to the players and kids and looking like she actually wants to be there.

Princess of Wales more interesting talking with the children. 

Not the case. I've timed her, counted the words, registered her level of interest using facial expression AI and it's shows she was 67.889% interested in the players.

[CGD]

Kate should've sung

[hindle xiii]

At least any empty seats can be attributed to the Canadian supporters...! Looks like a really enthusiastic and vocal crowd.

Come on England.

[Man of Kent]

Looks pretty full. Hurrah and huzzah.

Nah. I don't whinge about it. I've no time for the royals. I'll give her credit for at least looking like she's interested though.

[JimBronco]

We might see a game played by Monday. 

[MatthewWoody]

Radley is just the happiest man on Earth.

[Mark S]

I missed it, but what was the round of applause for?

[Futtocks]

Jimmy Ngutlik facing off against Dom Young. Could be fun.
