Kate Middleton and Prince William joined forces with rapper Snoop Dogg in a surprise video supporting Team GB at the 2024 Paris Olympics. Sporting a bold new beard look, William and Kate thanked British athletes for their accomplishments in the Olympics so far.
In the video posted to their formerly Twitter account, the Prince and Princess of Wales congratulated Team GB athletes along with legendary American rapper Snoop Dogg, who has been covering the Summer Games for NBC.

The Prince of Wales, with a full beard and sporting a Team GB polo shirt, added "Well done for everything you have achieved, you have been an inspiration to us all. Well done Team GB, what an amazing journey. Every athlete showed so much dedication, heart, and passion - you made us all so proud." Prince William and Kate Middleton, both 42, wrote in the accompanying tweet "Here to celebrate every win at Paris 2024 and look forward to more from #TeamGB later this summer." The post included the British flag emoji and a gold medal emoji.
William's new beard look was a surprise to fans as he usually maintains a clean shaven appearance in line with previous military protocol. However, he did surprise viewers on Christmas Day 2008 with some light facial hair before quickly shaving it off. His grandmother Queen Elizabeth II was reportedly not a fan of beards and insisted her husband Prince Philip shave off the beard he grew during a 1965 Commonwealth tour.

Off-duty in August while on a family vacation, William took the opportunity to grow out his new full beard look. He and Kate are known for their athletic interests and have passed on a passion for sports to their children. The Prince of Wales recently attended the men's Euro 2022 football final in Germany with his eldest son Prince George, embracing their shared enthusiasm for the game. Meanwhile, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis cheered on England from home, as seen in photos shared on social media.
There has been speculation that William and Kate could make a surprise appearance at the 2024 Paris Olympics themselves. The couple has kept a low profile this summer, spending individual time with George, Charlotte, and Louis. However, Kate's cancer treatment may impact their ability to attend, as she has mentioned having both good and bad days. It also remains unclear if their children would join them in France if they do make an appearance.

Snoop Dogg's inclusion in the support video highlights how British royalty and American celebrities are joining together to cheer on athletes from many countries competing in the Olympics. The surprise video message provided a boost for Team GB as they near the conclusion of the 2022 Summer Games in Paris. William, Kate, and their three children will surely continue enthusiastically supporting British athletes from home as the Olympics wraps up.
