William and Kate to attend events at Commonwealth Games in Glasgow
On Saturday, August 1, 2026, Prince William, Prince of Wales, and Catherine, Princess of Wales, attended the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games with their three children, marking the family's first official public appearance in Scotland.
The visit occurred as the "friendly games" neared their August 2 conclusion, following a radical financial restructuring after Victoria withdrew as host in 2023, citing spiralling costs.
During the outing, the royals watched a netball semi-final between Jamaica and Australia at the Hydro arena, then visited the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome and met SportsAid-supported athletes whom Catherine has championed as patron since 2013.
Prince Louis updated the Wales medal count board by placing a sticker over the previous figure, while the children exchanged high-fives with mascot Finnie, demonstrating the family's approach to introducing their children to official duties.
This engagement precedes Prince George's full-time enrollment at Eton College in September, reflecting a broader pattern of increasingly frequent sporting appearances for the Wales children throughout the 2026 summer season.
