The Prince and Princess of Wales - alongside their three children - attended the Commonwealth Games on the weekend, with one royal expert saying how their joy signifies how they have moved on from Kate’s cancer battle17:36, 04 Aug 2026Updated 17:38, 04 Aug 2026The Prince and Princess of Wales - with their three children George, Charlotte and Louis in tow - displayed "a snapshot of family happiness" when they watched part of the Commonwealth Games, an expert said.‌The Waleses were pictured during the penultimate day of the games in Glasgow where they saw the women’s netball and track cycling. One royal expert believes the candid photographs show how content the family was, and that the difficult times of the last few years are well and truly behind them.‌Kate's cancer journey rocketed the Royal Family and, after around four months of leave for treatment, she appeared at Trooping the Colour in June 2024. Since then, she has made a steady recovery.‌Royal expert Robert Jobson told the Daily Mail that the Waleses "snapshot of family happiness" in Glasgow shows they have "come out the other side" of Kate’s cancer journey.He told the publication that seeing George, Charlotte and Louis be in public with such ease is a testament to how their parents navigated the difficult time in their lives. He said: “You see it in the children first.‌“George is easy in a crowd. Charlotte talks to strangers and means it. Louis behaves like an eight-year-old, which is the healthiest thing in the picture. None of them carries the wariness you would expect. That is not luck. Their parents did it, and they did it while one of them was ill.”Praising the Princess of Wales for her impeccable ability to navigate the diagnosis, Mr Johson noted that "there is nothing ordinary about Catherine and every room knows it." He added: “She is in remission and she is back at work and clearly enjoying it.”‌As the family left the sporting competition, Kate was pictured chatting with Sir Chris Hoy, a former British cyclist who has terminal stage four prostate cancer, while a royal bodyguard waited for her to join the rest of her family in the car to depart.Jobson said Kate’s conversation with Sir Chris - which was not overheard - was engrossing for the princess, showing just how ‘real’ she truly is.Before watching the exciting sports matches on Saturday, the Prince and Princess of Wales, along with their kids, spoke to athletes from Team Wales. The family of five received a warm welcome from the Welsh athletes and their families as they arrived at Wales House in the centre of Glasgow.‌William and Catherine led their children over to speak to identical twin gymnasts Abigail and Emily Roper who won bronze medals within an hour of each other earlier in the week. They chatted with the athletes and their proud parents for over five minutes, asking about their achievements and how they prepared for the Games.‌The children were also involved in the conversations with the athletes, as the future Queen then turned to her youngest and said: “Louis, you’re perfecting your handstand at the moment.””A bit,” he said, with his arms crossed, “But Charlotte says I’m not very good.” The Roper twins then asked if Charlotte can do one, and she said “yeah”.When they asked George the same question, he and Catherine laughed as the young prince told them: “I’m rubbish at anything that involves flexibility.” Having already learned that Charlotte enjoys the sport, the Welsh gymnasts presented her with a Team Wales leotard that has been signed by the athletes.Article continues below
