The Prince and Princess of Wales, who were recently spotted heading to church in Scotland, are lending their support to Team Great Britain again
Kate Middleton and Prince William are continuing their support for U.K. athletes.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, both 42, have shouted out their backing for Team Great Britain at the Paralympics, which kicks off in Paris on Aug. 28.
In a message shared on their social media pages, the couple said, “Looking forward to another few weeks of incredible sport! Wishing the very best of luck to our @ParalympicsGB athletes and those competing at #Paris2024.” The message was signed with their first initials, “W & C,” indicating that the note came personally from the royals.

On the royal family’s official Instagram and X pages, Prince Edward also shared a message of support for the Paralympians. The Duke of Edinburgh, 60, has supported the British Paralympic Association since visiting the 1992 Paralympic Games in Barcelona and became royal patron in November 2003.
“To all members of the @ParalympicsGB team heading for Paris, whether athletes, officials or staff, I want to wish you the very best of luck at the Paralympic Games,” King Charles’ youngest brother said.

Prince William and Princess Kate’s message comes shortly after the 2024 Paris Olympics wrapped, and they appeared in a video clip alongside famous faces like Snoop Dogg to express their praise of British athletes.
“From all of us watching at home, congratulations to Team GB!” the Princess of Wales, in a rare appearance amid her cancer treatment, said in the clip.
“Well done on all you’ve achieved. You’ve been an inspiration to us all,” added the Prince of Wales, who was sporting a new look in the footage: a summer vacation beard!
Well done @TeamGB, what an incredible journey!
Every athlete showed immense dedication, heart and passion. You made us all so proud!

The Prince and Princess of Wales are avid sports fans and involved in many causes related to athletics. Kate is a patron of SportsAid, which helps emerging athletes, many of whom have taken part in the Paris games, make their journey to the top.
On Aug. 25, Prince William and Princess Kate were spotted heading to a morning service at Crathie Church on the Balmoral Estate, where the royal family traditionally gathers in the summer. They were staying at nearby Balmoral Castle with King Charles, 75, and other members of the royal family, including Prince Edward and Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh, and their son, James Wessex.
