Prince William Takes on Surprising New Role After Wife Kate’s Triumphant Return

In the photos, Prince William can be seen waving a yellow and orange flag in response to the play. He sported a big smile and seemed at ease, even though his suit and collared shirt limited his arm mobility. 

The referee outing came just one day after the Prince and Princess of Wales attended a service celebrating Commonwealth Day at Westminster Abbey.

The Princess of Wales showed a major shift in body language when compared to photos of her on Remembrance Day (you know, when she leaned on Duchess Sophie for support). This time, the royal appeared extremely confident and at ease. She even sported a genuine, unforced smile when she arrived at Westminster Abbey and spotted the crowd of well-wishers, indicating that she was happy to be there.

Guess Prince William can officially add “referee” to his resume.
