The Prince and Princess of Wales have congratulated the Team GB athletes who have won gold medals at the Paris 2024 Olympics on Monday.
While Prince William and Kate are not at the Games in person, they took to X to share their joy.
In a message on the social platform on Monday, the couple wrote: "Huge congratulations to the equestrian eventing team and Tom Pidcock in the mountain biking on winning @TeamGB’s first gold medals! Here's to more success ahead!"
Ros Canter, Laura Collett and Tom McEwen landed Great Britain's first gold medal in the eventing team final just hours before Pidcock secured himself first place in the men's cross-country mountain biking.
The Princess Royal, a former Olympic equestrian, 73, presented the gold medals to the eventing team at the Chateau de Versailles.
