Duchess Kate clenched her jaw and covered her face as Wales lost to Australia 15-6.
The couple are long supporters of Wales, as William is the vice patron of the Welsh Rugby Union, and the couple spent the first years of their marriage living in the U.K. country, on the north-west Welsh island of Anglesey.
