Share this @internewscast.com

The Prince and Princess of Wales made a touching tribute to the late Duchess of Kent on Saturday as they attended separate Women’s Rugby World Cup matches.

Kate, 43, cheered on England’s Red Roses from the stands at the Brighton & Hove Albion Stadium as they played against Australia. 

The royal was seen honouring the Duchess of Kent – who died on Thursday aged 92 – by wearing a casual black ensemble. 

Husband Prince William also wore a black suit and tie as he watched Wales narrowly lose to Fiji at Sandy Park in Exeter more than 200 miles away earlier this afternoon. 

Over in Scotland, King Charles and Queen Camilla also paid their respects to the late Duchess as they attended the Braemar Royal Highland Gathering at The Princess Royal and Duke of Fife Memorial Park.

The King wore a black blazer and black tie, while Camilla wore a black armband. 

Tributes have poured in over the last few days for the late Duchess, who was the oldest living member of the Royal Family. 

In a loving tribute yesterday, William and Kate said the Duchess would be ‘much missed’ and described how she had ‘worked tirelessly’ in her life to help others. 

In a statement signed ‘W & C’, the Prince and Princess of Wales said: ‘Our thoughts today are with The Duke of Kent and his family, particularly George, Helen and Nicholas.

‘The Duchess worked tirelessly to help others and supported many causes, including through her love of music. She will be a much missed member of the family’.

The Duchess died at Kensington Palace on Thursday night, surrounded by members of her family. 

She is survived by Prince Edward, Duke of Kent, and their three children. 

Meanwhile, a spokesman for Prince Harry said he had sent his condolences privately to the Kent family. 

Kate’s appearance at the Women’s Rugby World Cup comes as she marked her return to royal engagements this week following the summer break. 

She visited the Natural History Museum with William, where she displayed a new ‘blonde’ look.

Today, she appeared in bright spirits once more as she took to the stands to cheer on the team in what will make for a nail-biting match.

The game marks the final of the group stage of the Women’s Rugby World Cup, with England currently sitting at the top of the leader-board, and Australia currently in second place.

England, who are ranked the number one side in the world, shocked the US with a 69-7 win in the first round before another strong performance to win 92-3 against Samoa last weekend.

They are one of the favourites to win the entire tournament, alongside current world cup holders New Zealand, and Canada.

The couple have both shared personal messages to their respective teams on social media in recent weeks.

Posting in Welsh, then in English, William wrote: ‘Good luck to Wales Women as they kick off their Rugby World Cup campaign against Scotland today! Pob lwc, Cymru – ewch amdani! W.’

While Kate’s message read: ‘Wishing the Red Roses the very best as they kick off their Women’s Rugby World Cup campaign tonight.

‘I look forward to cheering you on and seeing the team rise to the challenge on home soil! C.’
