The Prince and Princess of Wales, both 44, were joined by Prince George, 13, Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, 8, for the sporting event. According to reports by The Telegraph and GB News, the appearance marked the siblings' first official public engagement in Scotland.
Known as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay while in Scotland, William and Kate spent time meeting Team Wales athletes and their families during the Games. The royal couple also visited SportsAid, the youth sports charity of which Kate has served as patron since 2013, highlighting its work in supporting promising young athletes.
Rare royal family outing during summer break
The Wales family typically keeps a low profile during the summer holidays, using the school break to spend private time together. They are also expected to spend part of the season at Balmoral Castle, where the British royal family traditionally gathers in late summer.
Although Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis are largely kept out of the public eye, they occasionally accompany their parents to major public events.
