William was the team’s fourth defensive player for the US Polo Association squad.
The Princess socialized with spectators on the sidelines, including champion jockey Frankie Dettori, Peter Phillips, the cousin of William, and Lindsay Steven, his girlfriend.
The family dog, Orla, joined Catherine on the sidelines the previous year. The Princess could be seen kissing her husband as he claimed the trophy after winning a polo match.
William and his younger brother Prince Harry share their late grandfather Prince Philip’s and father King Charles’ passion for the game.
