Princess Charlotte has stolen the show at today’s Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge sat with a grinning Charlotte as they began their day at the Sandwell Aquatics Centre by watching the swimming.
William and Kate arrived on Tuesday shortly after the Earl and Countess of Wessex and their children, Lady Louise and James. The duchess was pointing and explaining things to her daughter, while William held one of the official programmes.
The royals were cheering and applauding alongside the crowd for England 1,500m freestyle hopeful Luke Turley. After rolling her eyes following a comment from her father, Charlotte then cracked a smile as Turley’s heat came to a close.
She wore a black and white stripped dress and had her hair in plaited pig tails while her mum looked chic in an all white suit. Royals have been attending different events all week.
But it was Charlotte’s appearance – without her siblings – which captured the public’s attention like no other. The Cambridges attended days after the Commonwealth Games opening ceremony, which saw Charles, the Prince of Wales, attend.
Charles said: “On October 7 last year, this specially created Baton left Buckingham Palace to travel across the Commonwealth. Over the past 294 days, it has carried not only my message to you, but also the shared hopes and dreams of each nation and territory through which it has passed, as it made its way to Birmingham.”
Royal fans have been left delighted by Charlotte’s appearance – days after her sweet video message to the Lionesses ahead of the Euro 2022 final at Wembley on Sunday.
