Princess Kate and Prince William have spoken out with an important message following Meghan Markle's New York party and Prince Harry's explosive interview.
In their joint statement, the Prince and Princess of Wales extended their "huge congratulations" to the athletes who won the first gold medals for Team GB, amidst Zara Tindall’s Olympic snub.
The couple's delightful words come after Ros Canter, Laura Collett, and Tom McEwen secured Great Britain’s first gold medal of the Paris 2024 Games in the Equestrian Eventing Team final.
Princess Kate and William paid special tribute to the team, as well as Tom Pidcock, who claimed first place in the men’s cross-country mountain biking event, in an online post.
Kensington Palace, on behalf of Kate and William, stated: "Huge congratulations to the Equestrian Eventing Team and Tom Pidcock in the mountain biking on winning Team GB’s first gold medals! Here’s to more success ahead!”
Their congratulations to the Olympic equestrian team come after Zara Tindall, who won a silver medal for the sport at the 2012 London Olympics, was left off the squad.
It is noteworthy that Princess Anne's daughter Zara's dreams of returning to the Olympics were dashed in a major career setback after it was announced she would not be on the equestrian squad this year. She had been planning to secure a spot on the 2024 team, according to her husband Mike, who confirmed she was training for the coveted role in 2022.
