The princess, who is patron of the Rugby Football League, impressed her hosts by playing wheelchair rugby during her visit.

Tom Coyd, coach of England’s World Cup wheelchair rugby team, said: "I think she’s been having secret practice sessions before coming here, because she’s a natural.

"She even finished a passing move with a try in the corner – she blew me away, to be honest."

Coyd added: "It’s an amazing spectator sport, it covers all bases really, you’ve got the inclusivity, it’s the only sport in the world where at the top level you can have disabled and non-disabled players playing together.

"And Kate herself said the collisions that came through the TV, when they were watching it, was what hooked the kids in."

The day was hosted at the Allam Sports Centre in the University of Hull, by the Rugby Football League, Hull FC.

Hull FC’s wheelchair, physical disability and learning disability teams took part in skills sessions and matches in order to celebrate the Rugby League Inclusivity Day.
