Tuesday 2 August 2022 02:00 PM Kate Middleton and Prince William are joined by Princess Charlotte to watch the ... trends now
Princess Charlotte was the star of the show today as she joined her parents Prince William and Kate Middleton in Birmingham to cheer athletes competing in the Commonwealth Games.
The Duchess of Cambridge, 40, was in high spirits as she arrived at the tournament alongside her husband the Duke, and their seven-year-old daughter, where they took their seats in Sandwell Aquatics Centre to watch the swimming heats.
The mother-of-three appeared trendy in her £1,945 white Alexander McQueen trouser suit for the event, which she first wore during the Caribbean tour earlier this year.
Meanwhile Princess Charlotte, who was wearing a £44 Rachel Riley dress, appeared delighted to be attended the contest, gesturing wildly to her parents as they sat in the stands.
Today's occasion marked the first time the little Princess has joined her parents for a solo outing without one of her brothers, Prince George, eight, and Prince Louis, four.
In a cheeky display, the seven-year-old could be seen clapping along enthusiastically, sticking out her tongue and gasping at moments of action - while her mother tenderly tucked locks of her hair behind her ear which had fallen from her neat plaits.
The little royal is proving to be quite the sporting fan - days ago, she joined her father for a video message in sending her best wishes to the Lionesses ahead of the Euro 2022 final.

Kate was dazzling in the £1,370 fresh white jacket with matching £575 trousers from her favourite designer Alexander McQueen.
The mother-of-three has a close affiliation with Alexander McQueen having worn the British fashion house's designs on notable occasions, most famously to her wedding in 2011.
This is the third time this year the Duchess has worn the suit - having first worn the suit during her controversy Caribbean tour earlier this year, she went on to visit a youth group with Prince William to mark Windrush Day.
The royal swept her long brunette locks back from her face in a bouncy blow dry for the occasion.
