Kate Middleton<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0isn\u2019t afraid to shift into high gear.<\/p>\n In fact, the Princess of Wales recently broke traditional\u00a0royal norms to drive herself to a reception she hosted at Windsor Castle for England Women’s rugby team, in honor of their Sept. 2025 World Cup win.\u00a0<\/p>\n Kate\u2014who is Patron of the team\u2014arrived to the royal venue behind the wheel of a black car, as seen in footage shared to X<\/a>, exiting on the vehicle\u2019s driver\u2019s side. No one else was in the car with her, and she was soon greeted by a staffer from whom she accepted a proffered umbrella to shield from the rain.<\/p>\n The move was an unusual one, as British royal family members are usually chauffeured when traveling to events. Windsor Castle, however, is not far from Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park, where Kate lives with Prince William<\/strong><\/a> and their kids Prince George<\/strong><\/a>, 12, Princess Charlotte<\/strong><\/a>, 10, and Prince Louis<\/strong><\/a>, 7. The family moved there in Oct. 2025 from Adelaide Cottage.<\/p>\n For the sporting event, Kate donned a tailored red pantsuit which she styled with a simple white blouse and matching red heels. Her brown locks were left in waves around her face.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.eonline.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Kate Middleton\u00a0isn\u2019t afraid to shift into high gear.
