Kate Middleton proves she's the 'Sporty Spice Princess' as her talents surprise even Prince William: experts

Kate Middleton is fully earning her "Sporty Spice Princess" nickname, bringing the same fire to the field as she does to the kitchen.

During a recent visit to the Wakefield Trinity Rugby Club, the Princess of Wales spoke about her own sporting history, noting she played "loads of netball" in school, but skipped rugby and football,People magazinereported.

The mother of three also revealed that her daughter, Princess Charlotte, isn't officially involved in rugby, but joins in when the family plays together at home. Her youngest son, Prince Louis, takes part in "Rugbytots" sessions, while her eldest, Prince George, is becoming a pro.

"George, now, if we play at home, I do not want to get tackled by George!" the princess shared.

Royal experts told Fox News Digital thatKate's passion for sportsis well-known — and it's no surprise she's passing it on to her children.

"Princess Catherine has definitely earned her nickname 'Sporty Spice Princess,'" British broadcaster and photographer Helena Chard told Fox News Digital.

"She has famously thrown herself into various athletic activities during engagements, showing her great skill and competitive spirit," Chard shared. "From rugby drills at Twickenham to tennis with champions, high-speed sailing, field hockey in heels and, more recently, she tried curling in Scotland."

"We can't forgetPrincess Kategoes deep-sea diving with her husband," Chard noted. "They are both accomplished divers with PADI Advanced qualifications. Now, Prince George joins them in shark spotting during private holidays in Mustique."

While Kate and her husband, Prince William, share a mutual love of sports, experts said they are fiercely competitive — but there's one activity Kate enjoys that William just can't get into.

"What's unusual — and a surprise to many — is her penchant for wild, cold-water swimming and dipping in streams and pools, often at night,"British royals expert Hilary Fordwichtold Fox News Digital.

"Prince William has referred to it as her 'craziest' hobby and called her 'slightly bonkers,'" Fordwich said. "But it's been said she finds it both invigorating and mood-boosting."

"The hobby surprised both William and me!" quipped royal expert Ian Pelham Turner. "At first, William thought it was rather mad, but after much encouragement, he's now tried it too."

Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams described the 44-year-old princess as "extremely sporty" and eager to take on new activities. He noted that the Princess of Wales has spoken about her love of nature and how embracing the outdoors helped her heal duringher cancer diagnosis. She announced she was in remission in January 2025.

Since then, the family has moved to the outskirts of London.

"Her keenness for tennis — as she's the patron of Wimbledon — is well known," Fitzwilliams said. "She reportedly took private lessons at the Hurlingham Club and has an 'incredible forehand.'"

"She loves skiing, a favorite sportamong the royals. It's been such fun to see how she and William incorporate sports such as archery and dragon boat racing into foreign tours. It gives these trips a special cachet — and she always looks so graceful while playing."

Although her connection to nature isn't new, royal commentator Amanda Matta previously told Fox News Digital that it has become "more central" to the princess's public image over the past year.

"Framing time outdoors as her 'hobby' works because it's so accessible. Who can't manage a walk in the woods?" Matta said.

"It reinforces the idea of Kate as grounded and relatable, someone who genuinely enjoys the same simple pleasures as the rest of us," Matta added.

Turner revealed the princess has earned the nickname "Sporty Spice Princess" for more than one reason. And after breaking a sweat, this other hobby comes in handy.

"The princess has many unusual — some may say hidden — talents," Turner explained. "She's a very proficient scuba diver, but perhaps her most unexpected talent is beinga great sausage maker. It's been said she makes delicious delicacies with meats and chutneys, which the late queen especially enjoyed."

Chard agreed.

"She's been described as an avid cook and a real foodie," Chard said. "Princess Catherine loves preparinghearty comfort mealsfor her family. Roast chicken remains a firm favorite, but she's also known for making delicious sausages with her trusty sausage maker."

Kate Middleton laughing in a kitchen with other women as they cook.

"It's been said her children love toad in the hole — a traditional dish — as well as sausage and mash. They're also learning cooking techniques as they regularly lend a hand. Reportedly, Prince George is quite the dab hand at the 'Sausage Catherine Wheel.'"

"Even a spicy curry makes the menu — although not too spicy for Prince William," Chard added.

Vanity Fair correspondent Katie Nicholl previously revealedto the outletthat in the evenings, Kate can be spotted cooking William's favorite meal, roast chicken, while also making use of her sausage-maker.

"She has started making homemade pots of fruit jam," wrote Nicholl, adding that Kate once gifted friends strawberry jam and plum preserves.

Kate later told Mary Berry that William tried to pull out all the stops in the kitchen to impress her early on in their relationship.

"He's very good at breakfast," said Kate. "In our university days, he used to cook all sorts of meals. I think that's when he was trying to impress me, Mary. Things like Bolognese sauce and things like that."

Turner also told Fox News Digital that beekeeping is one of the princess's hobbies — and it helped her bond with the late Queen Elizabeth II.
