The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge spent the morning at a children’s rugby tournament, where Prince William’s team comfortably beat the Duchess’ group of youngsters. Prince William felt vindicated after losing in yachting to his wife earlier this week, as he looked over at her afterwards and said “next time, next time”.
Before heading over to the rugby tournament, the couple attended a Palm Sunday church service.
