SPORTY Kate is set to replace Prince Harry as patron of his beloved England rugby teams.
Harry, 36, was stripped of all his patronages by the Queen when he quit his royal duties to live in America.
They included those for the Rugby Football Union (RFU) and Rugby Football League (RFL).
Dad-of-two Harry, left, is a big fan of both codes and flew to Japan to watch England’s 2019 World Cup Final defeat to South Africa.
The Duke of Sussex, who lives in California with Duchess of Sussex Meghan, 39, promised in a video call last year to return to England for this autumn’s Rugby League World Cup.
Yet Duchess of Cambridge Kate, 39, is primed to take on the RFU and RFL patronages.
She is a sports fan and has cheered on England’s stars at Twickenham.
She is also patron of the Lawn Tennis Association.
A royal insider said: “Kate would be the perfect choice.”
Spokesmen for the duchess, Kensington Palace and the RFU did not want to comment.
