Kate Middleton Celebrates Britain’s Return to the America's Cup Final
In an exhilarating moment for British sailing, Ineos Britannia has triumphantly sailed into the America's Cup final, marking a historic milestone as it's the first time in 60 years that the nation has reached this prestigious event. The atmosphere aboard Ineos Britannia is electric, filled with joy and pride, a sentiment echoed by none other than Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales. She expressed her admiration for the team’s remarkable achievement in a heartfelt social media post. "Congratulations to Sir Ben Ainslie and the entire INEOS Britannia team on qualifying for the 37th America's Cup!" she wrote, emphasizing the importance of teamwork, skill, and determination that the sailors displayed throughout the competition.
Her message comes after Ineos Britannia secured a significant victory over Italy’s Luna Rossa Prada Pirelli in their best-of-13 series. The British team won decisively, winning the series 7-4 to lift the Louis Vuitton Cup, a crucial stepping stone toward the final showdown against the defending champions, New Zealand. Skipper Sir Ben Ainslie, a four-time Olympic gold medalist, expressed immense pride in his crew. "It's a massive day for our team," he declared, highlighting the ten years of hard work and dedication that have led to this moment. Ainslie reflected on the challenges faced during the team's formation and the essential support from backers like Jim Ratcliffe and the Ineos team.

As they prepare for this historic challenge, the team is filled with anticipation and determination.
