Princess Anne and Prince Edward attend Commonwealth Games in Glasgow

Princess Anne and Prince Edward made a rare joint appearance at the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow on July 30, sitting together with Prince Edward’s wife, Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, in the stands of Scotstoun Stadium. Both watched the athletics and para‑athletics programme on day seven, cheering Team England from the same row. Prince Edward, vice‑patron of Commonwealth Sport, focused on the competition while Anne, wearing a trench coat, denim jeans and her signature Adidas sunglasses, expressed enthusiasm for the events.

After the stadium visit, Anne toured the Commonwealth Games offices, meeting staff and continuing her long‑standing support for sport‑related charities. The sibling outing highlighted the overlapping patronages of the Princess Royal and the Duke of Edinburgh within the Commonwealth movement.
