View Date:2024-12-24 01:30:48
Prince William has made a regal appearance during Royal Week.
The Prince of Wales joined King Charles III and Queen Camilla, along with Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, for the Thistle Service held in Edinburgh, Scotland July 3. There, both Camilla and Prince Edward were officially bestowed with the Order of the Thistle, Scotland's highest order of chivalry.
According to the BBC, the Order of the Thistle—which serves as a gift from the reigning monarch—recognizes 16 knights who have offered a "particular contribution" to national life or held public office, as well as additional royal knights.
After the ceremony held at St. Giles’ Cathedral, Camila and Edward both left the event wearing their distinctive green velvet robes and hats adorned with feather plumes. As for William, he also wore a velvet robe complete with gold tassels during the service.
But completing his royal duties isn’t the only time the Prince of Wales recently had an outing that doubled as a family affair.
In fact, William lightheartedly shook off any protocol when it came to attending Taylor Swift's Eras Tour concert in London in June along with kids Prince George, 10, and Princess Charlotte, 9.
And it was a point in time that the royal—who also shares Prince Louis, 6, with Kate Middleton—was able to impress everyone in attendance, including Travis Kelce, who along with his brother Jason Kelce, got the chance to meet him and his family backstage.
"If anyone is doing it right, Prince William is doing it right," the Kansas City Chiefs star said during a recent episode of his New Heights podcast. "Thank you, Your Royal Highness, it was awesome meeting you. And Charlotte and George."

"My medical team therefore advised that I should undergo a course of preventative chemotherapy and I am now in the early stages of that treatment."
After photo agencies pulled the picture Kensington Palace shared of Kate since having her abdominal surgery on March 10, the Princess of Wales addressed claims the photo was doctored.
