Princess Kate's appearance at World Cup quarter-final hailed by royal fans

Kate replaced Prince Harry in the role after the Duke of Sussex stepped down as a working member of the Royal Family.

Royal fans took to social media to hail the Princess of Wales's attendance at the major sporting event.

One wrote: "Princess of Wales looks lovely."

Another said: "Royal always there to support."

The official Rugby World Cup page shared a picture of Kate at the match with the caption: "Nice to see some royal support in Marseille."

This is not the first time the Princess of Wales has made the trip to France to support England.

In September, Princess Kate watched the World Cup group-stage match between England and Argentina at the Stade de Marseille.

On Saturday, the Prince of Wales and his son watched Wales suffer a 17-29 defeat to Argentina in the quarter-finals of the tournament.

Prince William is the patron of the Welsh Rugby Union.

In February, Prince William provided an insight into the rugby rivalry he has with his wife.
