Unexpected Appearance of Kate Middleton in Royal Olympics Video
Talk about a royal Olympic surprise!
Kate Middleton made a rare appearance alongside a scruffy-looking Prince William in a pre-recorded video dedicated to the British Olympic team, which Kensington Palace posted on Instagram Aug. 11, hours before the Closing Ceremony of the 2024 Paris Olympics.
“From all of us watching at home,” began the Princess of Wales, “congratulations to Team GB.”
Kate sported a white and black striped sweater similar to one she wore in a March video in which she announced she was undergoing cancer treatment. The princess, who has largely remained out of the public eye since speaking out about her health battle, wore her long brown hair straight and loose and parted in the side.
William, standing next to his wife, wore a teal Team Great Britain polo shirt and also sported facial hair publicly for the first time in more than a decade.
“Well done on all you have achieved,” he said in the video. “You’ve been an inspiration to us all.”
