Princess of Wales & England Lionesses: World Cup Celebration

WINDSOR, Month Day, Year – A playful exchange with Princess Catherine has resulted in a future tattoo for a member of England’s Red Roses rugby team. Kildunne, who famously tattooed ‘2025’ on the team’s head coach Mitchell following their World Cup success, revealed the Princess initiated a lighthearted hat-related ribbing during a reception at Windsor Castle.

Royal Reception Turns Playful with Cowboy Hats and Future Ink

The Red roses met with Princess Catherine and Prime Minister Starmer after their World Cup performance.

• Kildunne became known for wearing a cowboy hat during the World Cup.
• Princess Catherine playfully teased Kildunne about the hat at Windsor Castle.
• The team was delayed in arriving at Windsor castle due to transportation issues.
• Following the royal meeting, the Red Roses met with Prime Minister sir keir Starmer.

Kildunne, who became synonymous with a cowboy hat throughout the competition, previously placed the hat on Princess Catherine’s head after one of their victories. Speaking at Windsor Castle, Kildunne recounted the recent encounter: “It was the first thing she said when she came over to our group, ‘Have you forgotten yoru cowboy hat this time?’ I said ‘it looks like you’re the one that has forgotten your cowboy hat’.”

The interaction didn’t end with words. “When she came to watch the game – I didn’t really know the royal rules and whether you’re not allowed to put a hat on – she put it on and did a bit of a cowboy dance and it’s a special moment that she is now officially a cowboy, so I’ll have to tattoo her soon,” Kildunne added with a laugh.

Did you know? – Kildunne’s signature cowboy hat became a symbol of the Red Roses’ World Cup campaign, gaining attention from fans and even royalty. He has become the team’s unofficial tattoo artist.

The Red Roses’ arrival at Windsor Castle wasn’t without a hitch. The team was an hour late after their bus experienced a breakdown, and the bus driver subsequently took a wrong turn, causing them to miss a scheduled tour of the castle grounds. Despite the transportation troubles, the team was able to continue their engagements, later meeting with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer at Downing Street following the royal reception.

pro tip – Royal engagements often have strict protocols. Kildunne’s story highlights the Princess of Wales’s willingness to engage playfully, even with potential breaches of etiquette.

Following the reception with Princess Catherine, the Red Roses continued their day with a meeting at 10 Downing Street.The team engaged in discussions with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, marking a high-profile recognition of their achievements in the Rugby World Cup. Kildunne confirmed the Princess Catherine will be getting a tattoo, though the design and timing remain undisclosed.
