The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will be hoping the home nations’ gold rush continues as they return to the Commonwealth Games in Scotland where they spent a fun-packed day.
Kate and William joined Prince Harry and Prince Edward as they saw several English, Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish competitors take part in a games that is proving highly successful for the four countries.
The pair laughed, joked and grimaced – and at one point William fanned his wife with her identity pass, as she pulled a funny face.
Host nation Scotland won its 13th gold medal, taking it way beyond the 11 golds it won in Melbourne in 2006. England has 27 golds and Wales has three.
With 31 golds up for grabs on Tuesday, the Royals will be looking forward to a standard of sport equalling what they saw on Monday when they joined the audience for gymnastics, boxing, hockey and swimming.
At the Glasgow National Hockey Centre, they met members of the Australian and English teams.
Prince Harry met two Australian players whose selfie of them and the Queen went viral last week.
Jayde Taylor was posing for a photo with team-mate Brooke Peris when the Queen moved into the background as she took the snap.
Taylor said: “We asked [William] if he would do a selfie with us so we could add it to our collection, but he said ‘I hate selfies but I will definitely do a photo with you’.”
Kate, William and Harry went on to join the Earl of Wessex to watch Scotland take on Wales in the women’s hockey.
At one point the Duke and Duchess looked concerned as the action on the pitch reached a tense moment.
Kate played hockey as a student at St Andrews University and appeared to pay close attention to the result, which ended in victory for Scotland.
Later, at the Tollcross Swimming Centre, two members of the Australian team came over and passed a kangaroo mascot to William and Kate before taking some photos
Earlier, the royals had watched gymnasts from across the Commonwealth compete in the men’s and women’s team finals, and individual qualifying rounds.
They were seen chatting and laughing as the crowd sang and clapped along to the Proclaimers’ I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles).
Kate, William and Harry then walked to the nearby SECC arena to watch boxing, where they were pictured grimacing as they saw the competitors land blows.
