Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, who has recently taken over the position of patron of the Rugby Football League from Prince Harry, recently held a reception for England’s Wheelchair Rugby League team to commemorate their World Cup victory against France in November. The princess attributed her own fitness routine to the demanding task of keeping up with her three children.

Kate Middleton Does an Interesting Workout

At the event, the attire chosen by Kate Middleton featured a maroon Roland Mouret suit, previously worn during her December tour of Boston. The ensemble included a slim-fit blazer and trousers, complemented by a sweater, gold hoops, and a citrine pendant with sentimental value.

The Princess attributed her fitness routine to her kids. She said that her routine includes running around after her three kids, nine-year-old Prince George, seven-year-old Princess Charlotte, and four-year-old Prince Louis, and whenever she can squeeze in exercise. She even jumps on the trampoline with her children before school!

The Princess Attended a Rugby Game

The princess, who is a patron of the Rugby Football League, expressed her willingness to join and play with the group. She also plans to organize a family training session and mentioned that her children, specifically Prince Louis, are huge fans of the contact sport, and they love to run around and play. Kate Middleton actually told the players that Louis is crazy about rugby.

The Princess of Wales, who inherited the role of royal patron of the Rugby Football League in February 2022, two years after Prince Harry stepped down from his senior royal duties, recently watched the World Cup finals on TV with Prince William and her children. She also attended the quarterfinals in early November, marking her first match as the league’s royal patron.

The princess was seen cheering and clapping alongside the fans during the match, showing her support for the team. She also met with players and staff before and after the match, where they discussed the future of the league and ways to encourage more participation in the sport.

Ingredients

• 2 (¾-inch-thick) strip steaks (about 1 ½ pounds total)
• 1 ½ lb. Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cut into 2-inch chunks
• 2 tsp. lemon zest plus 2 tablespoons juice
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
• 1 c. fresh or frozen peas
• 1 ½ tbsp. unsalted butter
• 2 small shallots, thinly sliced
• 3 tbsp. olive oil, divided
• ½ c. dry white wine

How to Prepare This Strip Steak Recipe

Step 1

Put the potatoes in a large pot and cover them with cold (salted) water. Bring them to a boil and let them simmer for about 15 to 18 minutes until tender. Add the peas in the last few minutes of cooking. Drain the veggies and return them to the pot. Add 2 tablespoons of oil, lemon zest, and juice, and mash together. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

Grab a large skillet and heat the remaining oil over medium-high heat. Season the steak with salt and pepper and place it inside the skillet. Cook to your desired degree of readiness. If you are going for medium-rare, cook for 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Transfer the cooked steak to a board and cut it into slices after letting it rest for a few minutes.

Step 3

Using the same skillet, add the shallots over medium heat. Stir occasionally for a few minutes until they are tender. Add ¼ cup of water and the wine. Keep stirring, making sure there aren’t any browned bits at the bottom. Cook for about 5 minutes until the liquid reduces by half. Remove the skillet from the heat and add the butter and let it melt thoroughly. Add the meat juices from the cutting board and season the sauce with salt and pepper.

Step 4

Serve the steak topped with the sauce and the mashed potatoes. Enjoy immediately!
