Prince Edward shares sweet moment with his great-niece, Princess Charlotte, at the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow
There is also change on the horizon for James, Earl of Wessex, who has graduated from Radley College. It is not clear yet what will come next for the 18-year-old but there is every chance he will follow in the footsteps of his sisters and cousins and continue his education at university.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, known as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay in Scotland, combined their visit to the Commonwealth Games with other engagements. While in Glasgow, the couple met Team Wales athletes and their families, as well as spent time with those supported by SportsAid, of which the Princess of Wales has been patron since 2013.
As for many families, summer is a time for the Waleses to spend quality time together. The Wimbledon Men’s Singles Final typically represents the Princess of Wales’ final engagement before the summer break. Prince William keeps a less strict schedule but also values the time to recharge away from the spotlight.
As with the Edinburghs, it is a summer of change for the Wales family as Prince George prepares to start at Eton this September. The 13-year-old previously attended Lambrook School, Windsor, alongside his brother and sister but will now follow in the footsteps of his father and uncle, Prince Harry, at the prestigious all-boys boarding school.
