The 2024 Paris Olympics saw many royal families from around the world cheering on athletes from their respective countries. And while Princess Anne (and her trendy bucket hat) led the charge for the Brits, Prince William and Kate Middleton didn't make an in-person appearance at the most recent Olympics.
On Thursday, Oct. 3, the Prince of Wales told a group of British Olympic and Paralympic swimmers the real reason why he couldn't attend the games during an event at the newly reopened Birtley Community Pool in Tyne and Wear, England.
