The Princess of Wales has long been a devoted polo spectator. Attending Prince William’s matches at clubs and parks around the English countryside, Kate has been a loyal fan and supportive presence on the polo field for over a decade.
Often bringing her children to cheer on William at charity tournaments, the royal frequently opts for her more relaxed and casual summer clothing at the horseback competitions. The British beauty is often spotted donning halterneck wrap dresses, flowy blouses and retro shirtdresses — proof that her polo wife (pwife) wardrobe is always on point.
