The engagements illustrate separate royal roles in community outreach and veteran rehabilitation ahead of the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games.

Overview

  • Prince William visited Ysgol Gymraeg Llundain in Hanwell on Tuesday, played bowls with pupils and met five Team Wales athletes preparing for the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games.
  • Team Wales leaders showed William the Glasgow 2026 gold, silver and bronze medals that include Braille descriptions for the first time to highlight accessibility for para-athletes and visually impaired fans.
  • William shared photographs on Instagram, received gifts for his children and used the visit to promote Welsh language and culture linked to Team Wales’ build-up to the Games.
  • Prince Harry spoke at the 14th Invictus Games Foundation Conversation at Chatham House on Tuesday and continued Invictus advocacy during his UK trip while media reported he lost a £50m privacy claim against the Daily Mail publisher.
