Prince William and Kate attend Games with three children

Prince William and Princess Kate made a rare public appearance with all three of their children as the family attended the 2026 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland. The outing marked one of the few occasions the Prince and Princess of Wales have been seen together with Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis at a major public sporting event.

The 2026 Commonwealth Games officially began on July 23, welcoming athletes from 74 nations and territories. Competitors are taking part in 215 events across multiple sports, celebrating athletic excellence and strengthening the ties between Commonwealth nations through friendly competition.

The royal family attended the netball semi-finals, joining thousands of spectators in the arena to watch the highly anticipated matches. Throughout the event, Prince William and Princess Kate appeared engaged and enthusiastic as they followed the action, while their children also enjoyed the lively atmosphere from the stands.

Their appearance attracted significant attention from fans and photographers, with many noting how rarely all five members of the Wales family attend public engagements together. The visit highlighted the family’s continued support for major sporting events and the importance of the Commonwealth Games.

For the occasion, the family opted for coordinated outfits that balanced elegance with a relaxed style. Princess Kate wore a classic striped top paired with a pleated skirt and a forest green blazer, creating a polished yet comfortable look suitable for the sporting event. Princess Charlotte complemented the occasion in a stylish polka-dot dress, while Prince George and Prince Louis both wore smart shirts with tailored trousers. Prince William completed the family’s coordinated appearance with a blazer and formal trousers.

Royal watchers also noted how the three children appeared confident and comfortable during the visit. Prince George, the eldest of the siblings, closely followed the sporting action, while Princess Charlotte appeared cheerful as she interacted with her parents and younger brother. Prince Louis, known for his energetic personality during previous royal appearances, also enjoyed the event while taking in the atmosphere of the Games.

The outing came just weeks after Prince William, Princess Kate, Prince George and Princess Charlotte attended the Wimbledon men’s singles final. Prince Louis did not accompany the family on that occasion, making the Commonwealth Games a special event where all three royal children appeared together with their parents.

The visit also marked an important milestone for the young royals. It was the first time Prince George and Prince Louis attended the Commonwealth Games in an official capacity. Princess Charlotte, meanwhile, was returning to the event after previously attending the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham, where she joined her parents in supporting the athletes.

The Prince and Princess of Wales have consistently shown their support for British and Commonwealth sport through regular appearances at major competitions. Their latest visit to Glasgow reflected that ongoing commitment while also offering the public a rare glimpse of the family together. As the Commonwealth Games continue, the royal family’s attendance added to the excitement surrounding the tournament and highlighted the significance of the event in bringing together athletes and spectators from across the Commonwealth.

    Thousands of migrants leave Spain’s Ceuta after …

    Thousands of migrants have returned to Morocco after spending several days in Spain’s North African enclave of Ceuta following one of the largest attempted border crossings in the territory’s history. Many migrants said they left because of hunger, exhaustion, and disappointment after finding limited support and few opportunities in Ceuta. Spanish soldiers and Civil Guard officers guided groups of migrants back toward the Moroccan border crossing on Saturday. Many of those returning were young men who appeared physically exhausted after days of wandering through the city with little food or shelter. Some were barefoot, while others carried Red Cross blankets after receiving emergency assistance. Among those returning was 23-year-old Abdel Latif, who said he had hoped to find work and a better future in Europe. He explained that unemployment in Morocco pushed him to attempt the dangerous journey, but he decided to leave Ceuta after struggling to find food and support. The massive influx saw tens of thousands of migrants enter Ceuta over a period of two to three days. Local officials estimated that around 60,000 people reached the enclave, while Spain’s Interior Ministry reported a lower figure. The surge created a major humanitarian and political challenge for Spanish authorities. Many migrants attempted to reach Ceuta by swimming around border barriers in the Mediterranean Sea. Several people collapsed after completing the dangerous crossing, with Red Cross teams providing emergency treatment. At least dozens of migrants reportedly died while attempting to reach the Spanish territory. Spanish officials said that the majority of those who entered Ceuta had already returned to Morocco. Authorities have increased security measures along the maritime border, including the installation of floating barriers to prevent further crossings. Ceuta, home to around 84,000 residents, is one of only two European land borders located in Africa, along with Melilla. The territory has long been a major destination for migrants hoping to enter Europe in search of employment and improved living conditions.   Many migrants said their motivation was driven by economic hardship. Some described difficult working conditions and low wages in Morocco, saying they were searching for stability and better opportunities. Meanwhile, daily life in Ceuta has gradually returned to normal, with shops reopening and traffic resuming after the disruption caused by the migrant surge. However, some residents remain concerned about future migration pressures, while others say security improvements have restored a sense of stability. The latest events have once again highlighted the complex challenges facing Europe and North Africa in managing migration, border security, and humanitarian needs.

    Dar, Iran FM reaffirm diplomatic cooperation

    Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar held a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Council of Foreign Ministers’ meeting, where both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to strengthening bilateral relations and promoting peace through diplomacy. During the meeting, the two foreign ministers reviewed the evolving regional situation, particularly rising tensions in the Middle East. They discussed recent developments affecting regional security and agreed that continued dialogue, restraint and diplomatic engagement remain the most effective path toward achieving lasting peace and stability. Dar reaffirmed Pakistan’s commitment to maintaining close and friendly relations with Iran. He stressed the importance of avoiding further escalation and called on all parties to resolve differences through peaceful negotiations. He also highlighted the need to build upon the understandings reached under the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed in June 2026, which aimed to encourage diplomatic engagement and reduce regional tensions. The Pakistani foreign minister expressed concern over the deteriorating security situation in the region and said cooperation among neighbouring countries is essential to preserve peace, protect economic interests and ensure regional stability. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi appreciated Pakistan’s diplomatic efforts to reduce tensions and promote constructive dialogue. He thanked Pakistan for its continued support in regional peace initiatives and acknowledged Islamabad’s role in facilitating the safe return of Iranian fishermen and crew members, including individuals whose vessels had been intercepted during recent regional tensions. Both leaders agreed to maintain close coordination and regular consultations on regional and international issues of mutual interest. They reiterated their shared commitment to strengthening cooperation for peace, security and prosperity in the region. The meeting took place as tensions between the United States and Iran continue to escalate. Recent military exchanges have increased concerns about wider instability in the Middle East, with continued air strikes and retaliatory actions raising fears of a broader regional conflict. The situation has also affected key international shipping routes, particularly around the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea, increasing concerns over global energy supplies and international trade. The uncertainty has contributed to higher oil prices and renewed fears about the impact on the global economy. In recent days, US President Donald Trump warned of stronger military action against Iran following attacks on commercial shipping in the Red Sea. Iranian officials, however, have continued to reject the accusations and have criticised recent US policies, including proposals concerning frozen Iranian assets. Against this backdrop, Pakistan has continued to advocate dialogue and diplomacy as the only sustainable solution to regional disputes. Pakistani officials maintain that peaceful engagement remains essential to preventing further escalation and ensuring long-term stability across the Middle East.

    Pakistan boxer mysteriously disappears in Glasgow before flight home

    GLASGOW: A mystery has emerged following the conclusion of the Commonwealth Games after Pakistani boxer Qudrat Ullah reportedly disappeared from Glasgow just hours before the national squad was scheduled to fly back to Pakistan, prompting an investigation by the Pakistan Boxing Federation. According to federation sources, Qudrat Ullah failed to rejoin his teammates ahead of the team’s departure from Scotland. The boxer is believed to have gone missing approximately six hours before the group’s scheduled return flight, raising concerns among officials accompanying the contingent. The team had been instructed to assemble in the hotel lobby at 9 a.m. before leaving for the airport. However, when officials went to Qudrat Ullah’s room to escort him, they found it empty. Sources said he had last been seen in his room around 2 a.m., but by morning there was no sign of him. The circumstances surrounding his disappearance have deepened the mystery because his passport and return airline ticket were reportedly still in the custody of the team manager. Officials have not explained how the boxer could have left without the travel documents required for his scheduled journey home. The Pakistan Boxing Federation has confirmed that the athlete is missing and said the matter is under investigation. Federation officials are coordinating with relevant authorities to determine his whereabouts and establish the sequence of events leading to his disappearance. No official statement has yet been issued regarding whether local Scottish authorities have launched a formal search or whether there is any indication of foul play. Federation officials have urged caution, saying further details will be shared once the inquiry progresses. The incident has revived memories of a similar episode during the 2022 Commonwealth Games in England, when two Pakistani boxers reportedly separated from the national team and failed to return with the delegation. That case sparked debate over athlete monitoring during international competitions and the challenges sports federations face in ensuring team discipline while abroad. Qudrat Ullah’s unexplained disappearance is likely to draw renewed scrutiny of travel protocols for national teams representing Pakistan at major sporting events. As officials continue their investigation, questions remain over what happened in the final hours before the squad’s departure and when the missing boxer will be located.
