Kate Middleton was seen for the first time since ex-Prince Andrew was arrested earlier this week, as she attended the England vs Ireland Six Nations game in London Saturday.
Middleton, who is a Patron of the Rugby Football Union and Rugby Football League, was all smiles while sitting next to injured English player Fin Baxter in the stands.
The Princess of Wales, 44, wore an England scarf over a blue suit and put on a brave face following Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor’s detainment on Thursday.
Middleton also wore her dark locks in wavy curls with minimal makeup for the Saturday morning event.
Days earlier — on his 66th birthday — Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office while working as a British trade envoy.
He was accused of allegedly sharing confidential trade documents with the late convicted rapist and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
If convicted, the former Duke of York could face life in prison. Andrew previously denied any wrongdoing, though his relationship with Epstein has been long known.
Following the arrest, King Charles shared his “deepest concern” regarding the allegations against his younger brother.
“What now follows is the full, fair and proper process by which this issue is investigated in the appropriate manner and by the appropriate authorities,” the 77-year-old monarch wrote in a statement.
“In this, as I have said before, they have our full and wholehearted support and co-operation. Let me state clearly: the law must take its course.”
Andrew, who was stripped of his royal titles last year and recently kicked out of his royal home amid damaging claims that he worked with Epstein as his client, was pictured looking terrified as he left jail Thursday evening.
He appeared startled as he tried hiding in the backseat of a car leaving Aylsham Police Station in the United Kingdom.
