Ahead of the game, the royal couple met with injured rugby players supported by the Welsh Rugby Charitable Trust.
They also met with a representative from Notpla, an Earthshot Prize-winning company known for its innovative packaging made from seaweed. The Prince and Princess were shown packaging coated with a protective substance derived from seaweed. The Principality Stadium is now among the sports arenas committed to replacing single-use plastics with Notpla’s sustainable seaweed-based alternatives.

It is believed to be a bespoke Alexander McQueen piece, featuring design elements similar to other custom coats Kate has from the label.
The new coat has some distinct design features including a set-in waistband and pleated flap chest pockets.

They joined King Charles III, Queen Camilla, and other senior royals to celebrate the Commonwealth’s theme 'Together We Thrive.' This was a significant appearance for both the Princess and the King, who had each missed the previous year’s service following their respective cancer diagnoses.
The event highlighted unity and diversity across the 56 member states, featuring performances and a message from the King emphasizing support and friendship in uncertain times.
