Prince William has opened up about the "only time he has ever cried when watching a sport" as he made a surprise podcast appearance alongside Princess Kate and Princess Anne.
The royals sat down with Zara Tindall's husband Mike Tindall on his show The Good, The Bad and The Rugby for a World Cup special at Windsor Castle.
During the chat, William revealed that he had shed a tear while watching his cousin Zara compete and shared the lessons he hopes team sports will help teach his three children.
"The only time I’ve ever cried when watching sport was when Zara won I think it was the European championship," he told the podcast.

"I was down in Exmore at the time camping. We were all huddling around the phone watching it. She was there she was blubbing away the flag was going up. I was in pieces."
Kate added: "I can remember because you came back and said I’ve never been so proud of anyone."
Alongside Tindall, former rugby player James Haskell and television presenter Alex Payne also host the rugby podcast.
The Prince of Wales also told the group his hopes for his children Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis playing team sports.

He said: "Learning to lose, which I think we've got to concentrate more on nowadays.
"I think people don't know how to lose well. Talking about our children particularly, I want to make sure they understand that.
"I think it's really important from a young age to understand how to lose, and why we lose, and to grow from it and what you learn from that process.
"But also to win well, and not boast. There's so many life lessons that help us all through life, in friendship building, in relationship building, workplace, that you gain from those early years of playing team sport."

Tindall later turned to Kate to ask why she loved team sports, as he joked: "I'm not going to say you're really competitive... [but] I've seen her play beer pong."
The Princess of Wales replied: "I'm not competitive at all," before explaining that her parents had always encouraged her to get involved in sports.
Later in the episode, Princess Anne recalled the early days of her daughter's equestrian career, in which she won a silver medal at the 2012 Olympics.
When asked what would happen if she tried to offer her advice, horse rider Anne said: "If I made a comment I was usually told I was a dinosaur."
