Princess Kate’s delightful sense of humor was on full display during a visit to Twickenham Stadium, where an unexpected question from a women’s rugby player left her in fits of laughter—a moment that quickly went viral on TikTok.
The Princess of Wales, known for her warm and approachable nature, was asked if she would allow the players to lift her in the air, using a method common for catching line-out throws.
However, this technique involves a level of physical closeness that isn’t exactly everyday fare for a royal engagement.

In a lighthearted moment, one of the players carefully explained that lifting Kate would require some unconventional contact.
“I just wanted to make you aware,” she said, adding with an apologetic smile, “I’m so sorry.” The princess couldn’t hold back her laughter, covering her face and miming a look of surprise before agreeing to go along with it.
After the lift, everyone joined in raising their arms in celebration, a gesture that capped off the fun exchange.
A video capturing Kate’s reaction became an instant hit on TikTok, with over 625,000 views and 57,500 likes, thanks to the playful on-screen caption, “Warning Catherine that she had to touch her bum to do the lift.”
Alongside this humorous clip, fans shared other memorable moments from Kate’s royal appearances, like a young boy proudly handing her a stick he’d found, to which she replied, “Wow, that’s so cool. I like that, thank you.”
Another clip showed her throwing a dart in Bhutan, after which she humorously covered her face in surprise.
