On Sunday, as the Paris Olympics came to an end, the Prince and Princess of Wales broadcast a video applauding all British athletes. In a new video on their Instagram, the royal couple appears in casual clothes to congratulate Team Great Britain. “Congratulations to Team GB,” Kate says, speaking on behalf of everyone watching at home.
The princess was dressed in a striped navy and white shirt, a gold necklace, hair down, natural makeup, and a welcoming smile in the clip. William, in a light blue Team Great Britain polo shirt, stands next to Kate with scruff, giving a casual and spontaneous vibe. He praises the athletes in the video, saying, “Well done on all you have achieved. You’ve been an inspiration to us all.”
King Charles III and Queen Camilla were noticeably absent from the clip, however, they made sure to extend their heartfelt congratulations to the British athletes. A statement from the royal couple was shared by Buckingham Palace, expressing their pride and support for the athletes representing their country on the world stage. The monach also thanked France for hosting—also expressed gratitude for the Paralympics ahead.
Kate’s unexpected appearance in the Olympic message is a rare sight, especially as she remains focused on her ongoing preventative treatment for cancer. The princess first shared her diagnosis in a heartfelt video statement back in March, donning a striped top that bears a striking resemblance to the one she wears in this latest clip. The emotional video was shared across Kensington Palace’s social media platforms, allowing the public a glimpse into Kate’s journey and her unwavering strength in the face of adversity
