William, Kate Bring Kids To Commonwealth Games In Glasgow
The royals watched the netball semi-final and met Team Wales athletes, while Kate highlighted SportsAid-backed talent and family support.
Prince William and Kate, known in Scotland as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay, attended the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow on Saturday with their three children: Princess Charlotte, Prince George, and Prince Louis.
The visit marks the children's first official trip to Scotland, occurring on the penultimate day of the Commonwealth Games, the sporting event affectionately known as the "friendly games," which concludes with a closing ceremony on Sunday.
At the Hydro during the netball semi-final, Prince Louis wore a Wales Cycling hat while the family met gold medal-winning para powerlifter Mark Swan and gymnast Reuben Ward, who told Press Association: "it's just a strange but incredible experience."
Following the netball, the family greeted crowds and mascot Finnie before heading to the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome, where they met Sir Chris and watched cycling action at the venue.
Kate has supported the charity SportsAid as patron since 2013, and the visit highlighted the Team England Futures project, which provides young athletes behind-the-scenes experience for future international sporting competitions.
