\n

She met schoolgirls being put through their rugby paces<\/a>, pensioners taking part in a quiz and teenagers at risk of being excluded from school in Bradford, Wakefield, while she also took a supported wellbeing walk in the Peak District. While visiting the rugby stadium in West Yorkshire, Catherine, who is patron of the Rugby Football League, spoke to teenage girls during a break from their skills session for Wakefield’s Champion Schools competition.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She was asked about Princess Charlotte’s school activities as she stood beside the pitch in freezing temperatures due to Storm Chandra, telling the young players: \u201cShe does loads of sport but not rugby.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She also joked with the group about the physicality of rugby league, saying: “There’s not any other sport when you can say contact is a good thing.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Aside from being patron, Catherine is a big rugby fan and has taken part in many sports activities during her engagements in the past.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Earlier this month, she hosted a special reception at Windsor Castle to celebrate the Red Roses\u2019 triumph at the women\u2019s Rugby World Cup.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The future Queen hailed the \u201camazing achievement,\u201d telling the world champions: \u201cYou’ve really inspired all the new generation (that) perhaps might not even have thought rugby was for them.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

She added: \u201cI think it really showed how accessible rugby is to so many types of girls, in different parts of the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Catherine said that her children play rugby at home and had the Red Roses in stitches after revealing that she would not want to be tackled by Prince George.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Asked if her daughter played the sport, the princess replied: \u201cCharlotte is playing rugby, but at home with the family, so she isn’t yet at school, and I was asking how many schools are actually incorporating (rugby).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cRugby is so accessible, Louis is playing touch rugby and it’s such a great game.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cActually, they shouldn’t necessarily need to push boys and girls in particular sports too early.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cObviously as they get physically stronger – George now, if we play at home, I do not want to get tackled by George – but, up to a certain age, I think it’s great.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
