The Prince and Princess of Wales released a personal message ahead of the start of the Paris 2024 Paralympics on Wednesday.
"Looking forward to another few weeks of incredible sport," Prince William and Kate shared on Instagram Stories. "Wishing the very best of luck to our @paralympicsgb_official athletes and all those competing at #Paris2024."
The message was signed off personally by the couple with their initials "W & C".
The Paralympics, taking place from 28 August to 8 September, will see more than 4,000 athletes from around the world competing in 549 medal events.
It's not yet known whether any of the British royals will attend the Paralympics in Paris. The Princess Royal and the Duchess of Edinburgh travelled to the French capital for the Olympics last month, with Princess Anne handing out medals to several British athletes, including swimmer Adam Peaty.
