Which song is the best and whether the Principality Stadium is really the best song? The best stadium in the world.
Kate, who was at the stadium to watch Wales v England in the Guinness Six Nations earlier this year, said when asked if she had an interesting day on that occasion: “It’s a great stadium. I love the competitive spirit with it. The atmosphere is great. It’s right in the center.”
When asked if that’s what makes it the best stadium in the world, Kate and Dowlais’ team of volunteers had a good laugh before the former Duchess of Cambridge was launched and asked which national anthem was the best and the group burst into laughter.
“William, help me!” she speaks. “Normally it’s fine if the two of us sit here. Both are excellent.”
Chris Williams, a former Dowlais RFC player and now first-team coach, later said: “She was amazing. The conversation went smoothly. It was easy. She and the children played football. oval in the garden, and she was the mother cheering from the screaming party at school.”
