Kate Middleton ditched the smart suits today as she opted for a tracksuit and headed to Hull to meet Disability Rugby League players at the Allam Sports Centre.
The Princess of Wales, 41, appeared again with bandaged up fingers – just three weeks after she injured her hand while trampolining with her children.
While the royal has been opting for sophiscated suits lately, she instead wore her navy Rugby League polo shirt and tracksuit bottoms with white trainers as she joined a training session facilitated by members of the world-cup winning England Wheelchair Rugby League squad during Rugby League Inclusivity Day.
Despite the casual attire, Kate still brought the glamour with perfectly coiffed hair and a pretty make-up look.
Making sure she was hands-on despite her injury, Kate jumped in the wheelchair and played some wheelchair rugby, looking completely in her element.
