Prince George has made his first official appearance in Scotland
as he and his siblings were surprise guests at a major event,
alongside their parents.
George, 13, joined the Prince and Princess of Wales as they
attended events at the Commonwealth Games which are being held in
Glasgow.
It’s the first time that George has been seen attending a public
event in the country. As second in line to the throne and in direct
line of succession, he is set, one day, to be King of Scots.
It was a debut, too, for Princess Charlotte, 11, and Prince
Louis, 8, as neither has previously made an official public
appearance in Scotland.
The Wales family headed to the Hydro at the Games to watch the
netball semi final between Australia and Jamaica.
While it’s known that the family have spent summer holidays at
Balmoral, the private royal residence in Aberdeenshire, the three
Wales children have never been publicly seen attending an official
event in Scotland.
George, Charlotte and Louis were all photographed spending time
with their great grandparents, Queen Elizabeth II and Prince
Philip, at Balmoral and they are known to holiday there with their
grandfather, King Charles, who spends a chunk of the summer there
every year with Queen Camilla.
The Commonwealth Games have had strong royal support since they
got under way at the end of July. The King and Queen opened the
event, arriving at the inaugural ceremony in the Tardis as they
took part in a fun sketch alongside Sir Chris Hoy.
The Princess Royal has been spotted at a number of event as have
the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh. Prince Edward has seemed to be a
particular fan of watching bowls, always a popular Commonwealth
Games event.
The Commonwealth Games come to an end on August 2 2026.
