The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, has expressed her concerns that her youngest son, Prince Louis, may be too aggressive in his approach to rugby.
Louis, who is known for his mischievous and energetic personality, apparently enjoys the physicality of the sport.
Princess Kate revealed her fears during a training session with the England Rugby team and a meeting with England’s Wheelchair Rugby League squad.
“They’re all enjoying it,” she said, when asked if any of her children enjoyed rugby. “Louis is kamikaze,” she added, referring to his style of playing. “We’re worrying about when he gets older, he’ll be in the middle of everything.”
More recently, during a meeting with England’s Wheelchair Rugby League squad in October, she revealed, “Louis is mad about rugby. They are at an age where they just love running around.”
Prince Harry, Louis’s uncle, is also known to be an avid fan of the sport. In his memoir Spare, the Duke spoke about his love for rugby, admitting that it “captured his heart”.
He wrote: “I played [all] sport, though rugby captured my heart. [It’s a] beautiful game, plus a good excuse to run into stuff very hard.”
