Kate Middleton has been known to play the occasional game of beer pong, and can be “ultra competitive” when she does.
That’s one of the many revelations about the Princess of Wales that emerged when she and husband Prince William joined Princess Anne on “The Good, The Bad & The Rugby”, the podcast co-hosted by former rugby great Mike Tindall.
Tindall, of course, is also married to the Princess Royal’s daughter, Zara, and he was happy to use his family connections to get the three senior royals on the show.

Given the nature of the podcast, sports was a big topic of competition, which led Tindall to make some observations about Princess Kate.
“I’m not going to say you’re uber competitive,” he said, as reported by People, adding a sly nod indicating that’s exactly what she is.
“I’m not competitive at all,” she countered with a smile.
“I’ve seen her play beer pong!” Tindall said.

She and William went on to admit they can get competitive with each other, particularly when playing table tennis, admitting that they’ve never “actually managed to finish a game.”
“It becomes a mental challenge between the two of us,” she said, prompting her husband to explain that the games typically devolve into “who can out-mental each other.”
The entire conversation can be seen in the video above.
Kate Middleton made a royal visit to a British textile mill that shares a surprising connection to her own family history.
Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, is known for never putting a foot wrong when it comes to fashion, and she didn't disappoint on a recent outing.The 41 year old Princess stunned in an emerald green trouser suit as she visited a textile mill in Leeds on Tuesday, September 26 – which was once owned by her family. Kate was all smiles as she arrived to AW Hainsworth, a family-owned heritage textile mill which was established in 1773 and manufactures British woollen cloth, high-performing technical textiles, and iconic fabrics.The mill was previously owned by William Lupton & Co, which was founded by Kate's ancestors in the 17th century, before it was sold to AW Hainsworth in 1958.
Prince Harry's choice to break a long-standing rule in the royal family lead to the breakdown of his relationship with Kate Middleton, an expert has claimed.
The Princess of Wales always looks chic, even when her royal engagements involve chilly walks in the countryside, and she has been spotted wearing Barbour jackets on a number of these occasions – including during the royal couple’s tour of Wales in April this year. And now the iconic British clothing brand has just released a limited edition version of its classic wax jacket – and we bet this gets the royal seal of approval too.
Hot on the heels of the Duke and Duchess of Sussex at the Invictus Games in Germany, it was the Prince of and Princess of Wales’ turn to shine. While Kate stepped out for important engagements in the UK, William jetted across ‘the pond’ for the Earthshot Prize Innovation Summit in New York, armed with his ambitious goal to save the planet via the ten-year project. But there was heartache behind William’s heroism, arriving on Prince Harry’s adopted US ‘home turf’ amid no sign of a reconciliation between the two brothers.
Kate Middleton and her family have remained an "extremely close unit" despite shooting to worldwide fame, a royal expert said. Since Kate tied the knot with Prince William on 29 April 2011 at Westminster Abbey - the Middleton family have remained in the spotlight as relatives of the future Queen and are often spotted supporting the Royal Family.The family made up of parents, Carole and Michael along with their three children, Kate, Pippa and James Middleton no doubt have pressures when it comes to being in the public eye, but seem to have taken it in their stride.
Prince William felt ‘nervous’ during his solo trip to New York and seemed less sure of himself without Kate Middleton around, an expert claimed. The Prince of Wales, 41, travelled to the US this week for the unveiling of the finalists for the 2023 Earthshot Prize - an environmental award set up by the future king.
Kate Middleton has “stepped up” since the death of the Queen and showed ‘consistent confidence’ on a recent Royal engagement, a body language expert said. The Princess of Wales, 41, was “confident, open and honest” on her solo trip to a Royal Navy air base in Somerset this week and left all who met her in ‘absolute awe’, Darren Stanton added. Darren said it made no difference that she went on the visit alone - without Prince William - as she seemed to be “enjoying every moment” - which was a sign of her evolving independence.
Prince William is currently on his first official solo visit to New York but while his devoted wife Kate Middleton is often on his arm during royal trips, this time she chose to stay at home for a very understandable reason.
Prince William is on a solo trip to the United States, and some fans are wondering where Princess Catherine (aka Kate Middleton) is at.
The Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, was seen giggling as she tried on a life vest during a visit to the Royal Naval Air Station (RNAS) Yeovilton, near Yeovil in Somerset today. Kate looked stunning in a black suit as she toured one of the Royal Navy's two principal air stations and one of the busiest military airfields in the UK.The royal, 41, donned a white top underneath her chic black blazer adorned with gold buttons, along with black heels and her brown hair down.
While last week proved to be the first time in many weeks that the public saw the Duke and Duchess of Sussex together at the Invictus Games following weeks of speculation about their marriage, the Prince and Princess of Wales also delighted royal fans with their antics during a joint engagement in Hereford.The visit on Thursday provided ample opportunities for the couple to share in their specialist interests of early years development, mental health and the environment.They visited the British Army garrison Sterling Lines in Hereford and met with SAS families, before travelling onto Madley Primary School’s Forest School and an organisation called We Are Farming Minds, both of which are partners of The Duchy of Cornwall. The royal couple - who recently left little doubt that they intend to secure their future as a forward-thinking, savvy brand by advertising for a CEO - enjoyed interesting activities during the day.
The Prince and Princess of Wales have released a heartfelt statement about how they all miss the late Queen on the first anniversary of her death. William and Kate, both 41, paid tribute to the Queen by posting pictures of the late monarch on Instagram, including one showing the Queen with her great-grandchildren at her beloved Balmoral, with a touching caption.The couple have joined a flurry of royal family members to make social media tributes to the late Queen, who was the longest-serving monarch in British royal history, on the poignant day.
Prince William and Kate Middleton have arrived at St Davids Cathedral to mark the anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s with a small private service.The Prince and Princess of Wales arrived at the cathedral in St Davids, the smallest city in Britain, in Pembrokeshire, Wales, on Friday - exactly a year after the nation’s longest-reigning monarch died peacefully aged 96.The couple, whose visit was delayed due to foggy weather, were cheered by around 300 well-wishers who had gathered in the grounds of St Davids. During their visit, William, 41, and Kate, 41, will join a short private service at the cathedral, which will include a commemoration of the late Queen’s life.
According to royal analysts, Kate Middleton and Prince William have no wish to reconnect with Prince Harry or Meghan Markle.
Kate Middleton has been dubbed as the only living person in the royal family that has a chance of saving the relationship between Prince Harry and her husband Prince William, with some suggesting she could offer an olive branch to her brother-in-law when he returns to the UK this week.
Well wishes are in order for Pippa Matthews who is celebrating her 40th birthday today. Pippa, who is the younger sister of Kate Middleton, has been by her sister’s side ever since she entered the limelight. As the sister of the Princess of Wales, and as the sister-in-law to Prince William, Pippa is often seen at royal events with her family and most recently attended the Coronation of King Charles III back in May.
Page Six exclusively reported that The Duchess of Sussex, 42, is allegedly plotting a return to Instagram, and has a handle called @meghan on the social media platform.“With Kate’s social media presence, we’re given very choreographed glimpses into her perfect, almost ‘too good to be true’ family,” royal expert Tessa Dunlop told OK! UK, per The Daily Record.“With Meghan, on the other hand, we know that she’s been through hell and back,” she continued. “She doesn’t have the insulation of the institution and a large family.”Dunlop continued, explaining that if Markle’s new Instagram account is authentic to her true personality, it could be a great success.
Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton’s relationship isn’t exactly ideal for two women married into the Royal Family. Meghan and Kate may share family but seemingly don’t share the same ideals and priorities. Although the pair are married to royal brothers Princes William and Harry, their lives couldn’t be more different.
Prince William has been ranked ahead of his father King Charles as Britain's favourite royal family member, with an unlikely member of 'the Firm' coming in at second place.
