Rugby League’s Westminster Abbey date set for Christmas Eve
Her Royal Highness (HRH) The Princess of Wales serves as the Patron of the Rugby Football League (RFL), and the Westminster Abbey gathering of 1,500 guests included representatives from both the RFL and Hull FC. Earlier in the year, Hull FC hosted a celebration of inclusivity event at their University of Hull-based Centre of Excellence, where the Princess engaged in an impressive debut in Wheelchair Rugby League, guided by England coach Tom Coyd MBE and Hull FC player-coach Mike Swainger. England Wheelchair World Cup winners Wayne Boardman, Lewis King, and Tom Halliwell OBE presented her with England shirts for children George, Louis, and Charlotte. Additionally, the Princess participated in separate sessions with Hull FC’s physical and learning disability teams.
