Without her brothers: Princess Charlotte attended the Commonwealth Games with her parents, Prince William and Duchess Kate.
It’s no secret that Princess Charlotte (7) is enthusiastic about sports. On Tuesday (August 2nd) she was allowed to visit the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham together with her parents, Prince William (40) and Duchess Kate (40). The three took their seats in the grandstand at the Sandwell Aquatics Center to watch the swim events and cheer on the athletes.
First appearance without any of her brothers
Duchess Kate wore a white trouser suit by designer Alexander McQueen, Princess Charlotte a black and white striped dress with a collar – her hair was braided into two pigtails. Prince William wore light trousers, a blue shirt and a dark blue jacket.
The seven-year-old followed the competition with obvious excitement. She clapped her hands, gasped – and even stuck out her tongue. It is the first time Princess Charlotte has attended an official event with her parents without either of her brothers, Prince George, 9, or Prince Louis, 4.
The Commonwealth Games last until August 8th. 4,600 athletes from a total of 72 nations and countries take part in the games, which take place every four years. Prince Charles (73) and Duchess Camilla (75) opened the Commonwealth Games for the first time this year. So far, Queen Elizabeth II (96) had taken on the task.
Princess Charlotte is interested in sports
Just a few days ago, she proved that the princess has a fondness for sports. The seven-year-old published together with her father Prince William a video message on Instagram, which was aimed at the England women’s national football team. The two wished the players good luck for the European Championship final. The team won the final against Germany 2-1 in extra time on Sunday (31 July).
