Cheeky Louis grinned and proudly wore a Welsh cycling bucket hat as he watched action at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow today with siblings George and Charlotte and the Prince and Princess of Wales.

On the penultimate day of the so-called ‘Friendly Games’, the family joined spectators to watch a packed sporting schedule involving the world’s best competitors.

Prince Louis, now eight years old, delighted royal fans in a rare public appearance as he watched the Games alongside his siblings.

The family were in the stands for the netball semi-finals earlier today, which was a visibly tense match which decided who went through to the final playoffs for a medal.

They were later spotted at the Sir Chris Hoy Velodrome – where little Louis took great joy in his bucket hat – and were joined by the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh.

Louis appeared animated, biting his nails, gasping and pointing in the stands as he enjoyed the game sat in between his siblings.

Prince George, who celebrated his 13th birthday last week, was pictured sitting next to his father, William.

William was spotted chatting to his sons throughout the match, pointing at the players and explaining the play.

Charlotte, meanwhile, regularly turned to speak to Kate, whispering to her mother throughout the match.
