Wakefield Trinity 'delighted' by royal visit

Available for over a year

The princess visited Super League side Wakefield Trinity and their community foundation to learn about their outreach programmes. Catherine told them: "I love this, the league game is so embedded in community life and it's so grassroots [and] interaction, and getting youngsters involved but also how clubs like this connect to the rest of the community. "They're absolute gold dust really, and I'm so proud to help support the league across the country." The princess, who is patron of the Rugby Football League, also met with youngsters from Wakefield's Inspiring Futures programme, which supports those who are at risk of anti-social behaviour and youth crime. At the end of her visit, she was gifted a Wakefield Trinity shirt as a memento. Image Credit: Getty/WPA Pool
