World Rugby Chairman Bill Beaumont said: “The World Rugby Awards celebrate the very best of our sport and Monaco is a fitting location for what promises to be a very special celebration of rugby. I would like to thank their Serene Highnesses Prince Albert and Princess Charlene of Monaco for their commitment and enthusiasm in welcoming the awards to Monaco."
The Princess also enjoyed attending the traditional ‘Captain’s Run’ practice session at Twickenham Stadium and joined Prince Harry to watch the match between England versus South Africa last weekend. A match where the English team showed their superiority and won 37 points to 21.
