On Saturday, the prince is set to arrive in Australia to assess the destruction caused by Cyclone Yasi.
He has expressed his desire to meet those affected and personally extend his gratitude to the individuals who aided the region during this challenging period.
Peter Jourdain, the chief executive of the Cowboys, sent an invitation on Monday and anticipates a response from the royal family’s office in the UK soon.
The Cowboys hope for the future King to become an official supporter of the team and are optimistic that he might manage to fit the game into his hectic schedule.
“We’d be thrilled to have him at the match against the Knights, although we understand his itinerary will be quite packed,” Jourdain stated on Monday.
Additionally, Prince William has confirmed his attendance at the $500-a-head Disaster Relief Fund cocktail party hosted by Queensland premier Anna Bligh at the Brisbane Convention Centre on Sunday evening.
The fund has successfully raised over $237 million for those affected by the catastrophic floods and Cyclone Yasi.
The prince’s last visit to Australia occurred in January 2010.
