During her most recent outing, the Princess of Wales received a surprising surprise when she was tickled, to which she responded the best.
Catherine, 41, is seen chatting with young rugby players in a video that Sky News on X, formerly known as Twitter, posted on Thursday. Catherine was attending a Rugby League Inclusivity Day in Hull.
With her back to the boy, the princess is cheekily tickled, causing the royal to gasp as she spins around. After that, the boy smiles and shakes hands with the girl.

During her engagement, Catherine—a patron of the Rugby Football League—impressed her hosts by participating in wheelchair rugby.
Tom Coyd, the wheelchair rugby coach for England’s World Cup-winning team, said after the Princess converted: ‘I think she’s been having secret practise sessions before coming here, because she’s a natural’. To be honest, she really astounded me by finishing a passing move with a try in the corner.”
“It’s an amazing spectator sport, it covers all bases really, you got the inclusivity, it’s the only sport in the world where you can have disabled and non-disabled players playing together at the top level,” he continued following the royal visit.
“And Kate herself said the collisions that came through the TV, when they were watching it, was what hooked the kids in.”
The event took place at the university’s Allam Sport Centre and was organised by the Rugby Football League, Hull FC, and the University of Hull.

Along with some university students, Hull FC’s wheelchair, physical disability, and learning disability teams participated in skill-building exercises and friendly matches on Rugby League Inclusivity Day.
Catherine spent time chatting with the competitors and interacting with the players. She even participated in some passing drills with the learning disability squad.
She was even given wheelchair Rugby League jerseys for England before she left, which she accepted for her three children, Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis, who all love rugby.
The Princess has had a full week of engagements; on Tuesday, she and Prince William travelled to Cardiff to officially kick off Black History Month.

At the Grange Pavilion, where they met Windrush veterans, the Prince quips, “Who’s pinching my bottom?” during a group photo.
In an interview with Fitzalan High School’s sixth formers, Catherine also disclosed how she is assisting Prince George in getting ready for his impending exams.
Additionally, the Princess worked with volunteers on Wednesday to pack aid boxes that would be shipped to Ukraine at the Vsi Razom Community Hub in Bracknell.
