The Duke of Sussex has been Patron of the Rugby Football League since 2016 and was the Chief Guest at the 2019 Challenge Cup Final.

Itโs been exactly three months since the last Rugby League played in England. Three long months, in which too many lives have been lost, and too many people kept apart.
But momentum is steadily building - and
