It’s ready for use again! As the future King of Great Britain, Prince William (41) has a lot on his mind all year round. He and his wife Princess Kate (42) attend numerous events in the service of the British Crown – and totaled around 300 appointments in 2023. However, just in time for the New Year, William allowed himself a little break. But now he is full of energy again: William completed his first royal appointment in 2024!
As People now reports, the 41-year-old visited Headlingley Stadium in Leeds on Thursday: There William spoke to two former rugby players Rob Burrow and Kevin Sinfield, who have been campaigning for those affected by motor neuron disease in recent years. Rob was no stranger to the British heir to the throne: Mike Tindall (45), the husband of William’s cousin Zara Tindall (42), revealed to him the secret nickname of the British heir to the throne. “It was you who got the nicknames out of him. He apologized to me for it. When I saw him, I said, ‘Mike‘If you don’t mention your nicknames, that doesn’t mean you mention mine, that’s not fair,'” William joked in the interview.
As the medium previously reported, William and Kate always take time off in the first week or two of January – and for a good reason: their three kids George (10), Charlotte (8) and Louis (5) are busy during this time Holidays. But now the little break seems to be over and the future royal couple is gradually devoting themselves to their royal obligations again.
