The Princess of Wales has revealed that she plays rugby with her daughter – but wouldn’t want to be tackled by Prince George, her eldest child. She told the team that both Prince George, 12, and Prince Louis, seven, played rugby at school, whereas 10-year-old Princess Charlotte joins in at home. Speaking about how schools often choose not to separate boys and girls for sport when they are younger, the Princess said: “Charlotte is playing rugby, but at home with the family, so she isn’t playing yet at school. “Rugby is so accessible, Louis is playing touch rugby, and it’s such a great game. “Obviously, as they get physically stronger – George now, if we play at home, I do not want to get tackled… but up to a certain age, I think it’s great.”
