The Princess of Wales thrilled royal fans with a video message alongside the Prince of Wales to celebrate Team GB’s achievements at the Paris 2024 Olympics.
This appearance was notable as it was Kate’s latest public engagement during her cancer treatment, with her royal duties on pause for her recovery.
The video began with US rapper Snoop Dogg’s greeting of “greetings loved ones” and concluded with his thanks: “Thank you Great Britain, on behalf of big Snoop Dogg, the prince, and his lovely wife.”
Kate said: “From all of us watching at home, congratulations to Team GB.”
William then added: “Well done on all you’ve achieved, you’ve been an inspiration to us all.”
While William’s new beard caused a stir in the comments on social media, their followers were also excited to see Kate.
“Great to see the Princess again,” one commented. “Catherine looks really well….and hello William with a beard,” another said. “Great to [see] Catherine again, and William unshaved haha, it’s been years since we’ve seen that, what a sight!” a third said, while a fourth wrote: “She looks relaxed and very happy.”
The message was filmed in Norfolk, where the Prince and Princess have their country home, Anmer Hall.
The cameo from Snoop Dogg also sparked a reaction from royal fans.
“@snoopdogg x @princeandprincessofwales is the combo I didn’t know I needed!” one remarked.
Another agreed, writing: “Snoop Dogg x Kensington Palace is the crossover we never knew we needed.”
A third said: “The Queen surprised us with James Bond and Paddington; William and Kate do the same now with Snoop Dog – brilliant.”
