They’re kicking off their afternoon by watching the second semi final of the Women’s Netball between World No1’s Australia and Jamaica, who secured silver in the Birmingham 2022 Games. It’s set to be a close 60-minutes of action inside Glasgow’s Hydro.
Later on Saturday, William and Catherine will spend time with Team Wales athletes and their families.

Before the games the future King chatted to five Team Wales athletes – lawn and indoor bowler Ross Owen, blind para bowler Julie Thomas and her guide John Wilson, and weightlifters Madaline Connelly and Catrin Haf Jones – when he visited the London Welsh School in Hanwell, west London.
The royal couple will also spend time with athletes competing at the games whose careers have been empowered by the charity SportsAid, which Catherine has supported as patron since 2013, and meet emerging talent taking part in the Team England Futures project.
Sporting stars whose early promise was boosted by SportsAid include Sir Chris Hoy, Ellie Simmonds, Dame Jessica Ennis-Hill and Tom Daley.
The Commonwealth Games, affectionately known as “the friendly games”, started on July 23, following a spectacular Opening Ceremony that saw the King and Queen emerge from Doctor Who’s Tardis.
Over the nine days of action so far, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh and the Princess Royal have attended several days of the sporting action.
William and Catherine visited the Games the last time it was held in Glasgow in 2014, accompanied by the prince’s younger brother, Prince Harry.
