Kildunne, who tattooed ‘2025’ on head coach Mitchell after their World Cup success, became synonymous with a cowboy hat during the competition and placed it on the head of Catherine after one of their victories.
Speaking at Windsor Castle, Kildunne said: “It was the first thing she said when she came over to our group, ‘Have you forgotten your cowboy hat this time?’ I said ‘it looks like you’re the one that has forgotten your cowboy hat’.
“When she came to watch the game – I didn’t really know the royal rules and whether you’re not allowed to put a hat on – she put it on and did a bit of a cowboy dance and it’s a special moment that she is now officially a cowboy, so I’ll have to tattoo her soon.”
The Red Roses were an hour late after their bus broke down and the bus driver then took a wrong turn, meaning the team missed out on a tour of Windsor Castle.
Following the royal reception the squad went to Downing Street to meet Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.
