Kate Middleton, Prince William, and His Summer Facial Hair Have a Message for Team Great Britain

Thank you, Team Great Britain. Not just for Tom Daley’s delightful knitting videos, but for this new video featuring Kate Middleton, Prince William, and Snoop Dogg.

For some delightful reason, Kensington Palace tapped the 52-year-old American rapper to join the Prince and Princess of Wales, David Beckham, and other famous faces in congratulating Team Great Britain for their performances in the 2024 Olympics. Dressed in a blue and white blazer with a red, white, and blue clover scarf, Snoop Dogg kicked things off with a quick “Greetings, loved ones,” before the video switched over to Will and Kate.

“From all of us watching at home, congratulations to Team GB,” Middleton said in while standing outside next to her husband in a simple white and black striped sweater. Prince William added, “Well done on all you’ve achieved. You’ve been an inspiration to us all.”

The couple appears to have recorded their clip from their summer home in Norfolk, according to royals expert Jane Barr. As many viewers noted, Prince William looked very laid back in a blue Adidas polo and some casual facial hair.

“William with a tan and a beard!!!!” one fan commented on the post, while many others approved of his “vacation” vibe. One wrote, “Kate looking beautiful & [I’m] here for Will’s stubble 🔥”
