William’s 15th match and a tender moment

Prince William played in his 15th charity match, then joined Kate for the awards presentation. The Princess greeted him with a kiss on the cheek as he accepted the prize — a brief, warm display similar to their 2023 exchange. Etiquette experts note that senior royals choose when such gestures feel appropriate.

Family faces and fundraising goals

Guests included William’s cousin Peter Phillips, his new wife Harriet and her daughter Georgina. The annual match supports causes championed by the couple and is expected to raise over $20 million for charities such as Wales Air Ambulance, The Royal College of Paramedics, Tŷ Hafan and Evelina London Children’s Hospital, among others.
