Share Post

Prince William and Princess Kate Middleton turned the Commonwealth Games into a family affair.

The Prince and Princess of Wales were photographed sitting alongside their kids, Prince George, 13, Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince Louis, 8, in the stands for the netball semi-finals at Glasgow, Scotland, on Saturday.

They appeared engaged with the sporting event, as Charlotte turned to talk to her mom several times, while pointing to the court.

George, whose 13th birthday was last week, copied his father’s stance, leaning forward with his arms clasped together while attentively watching the game.

As for Louis, he sat in between his siblings, appearing slightly bored as he rested his head in his hands, while also animatedly reacting throughout the match.

The family of five rarely steps out together, with George and Charlotte having attended the Wimbledon Tennis Championships without their younger brother last month.

At the time, William, 44, and Middleton, 44, beamed as they walked alongside their two eldest children to watch the men’s singles final.

They were last seen together as a family unit after Middleton completed the National Three Peaks Challenge in support of the Royal Marsden Cancer Charity in early July.

Photos showed Middleton embracing her children while dressed up in outdoor hiking clothes and a backpack after completing 23 miles through the highest peaks in England, Wales and Scotland.

Middleton was photographed tightly embracing Charlotte, while Louis tugged on her arm and later held the matriarch’s hand.

The trio, along with William and George, smiled widely as they posed for a photo alongside other attendees.

The royals also made a joint appearance at the 2026 Trooping the Colour in June, each coordinating their outfits with traces of blue.

While out of the spotlight, Middleton and William, who wed in 2011, enjoy time with their kids outdoors.

Middleton gave a glimpse of her summer with her crew last Tuesday, showing them lounging in the grass and smiling at each other.
