The Duchess of Cambridge impressed royal fans as she showcased a rugby ball trick following confirmation about her two new patronages.
In a fun Instagram video, Kate can be seen dressed in a blue Sweaty Betty top and Nike track pants, throwing a rugby ball off-screen.
In the next frame, the ball lands in the hands of Thea Northcott, a rugby union community game player, who passes it on to Harry Newman from the England rugby league men's team.
The Duchess, who has become patron of the Rugby Football League and Rugby Football Union, then effortlessly spins the ball on her finger.
