The Princess of Wales delighted royal fans as she starred in a video message with the Prince of Wales to congratulate Team GB after their Paris 2024 Olympics successes.
It marked the latest appearance for Kate, 42, amid her cancer treatment, with the Princess putting public duties on hold as she recovers.
The royal couple were featured in the video alongside a compilation of messages from celebrities including Snoop Dogg and David Beckham. Watch below…
US rapper Snoop Dogg started the video by saying "greetings loved ones" and ended it with the words, "Thank you Great Britain, on behalf of big Snoop Dogg, the prince and his lovely wife".
Kate said: "From all of us watching at home, congratulations to Team GB."
William then added: "Well done on all you’ve achieved, you’ve been an inspiration to us all."
While William's new beard caused a stir in the comments on social media, their followers were also excited to see Kate.
"Great to see the Princess again," one commented.
"Catherine looks really well....and hello William with a beard," another said.
"Great to [see] Catherine again, and William unshaved haha, it's been years since we've seen that, what a sight!" a third said, while a fourth wrote: "She looks relaxed and very happy."
