The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh are in Paris earlier to support Team GB at multiple events.
The Duke and Duchess were able to see British wheelchair fencer Oliver Lam Watson as he faced off against Richard Hun Osvath from Hungary at the Grand Palais, one of the favourite Olympic and Paralympic venues this summer.
Although Lam Watson unfortunately lost his Category A match, Edward and Sophie looked to be having a great time. They were sitting with both David Clarke, the Chief Executive of Paralympics GB, and Menna Rawlings, the British Ambassador to France. Sophie happily waved a Union Flag with Clarke and Rawlings during the match.
The Duke and Duchess were also able to see Dimitri Coutya win the Gold Medal in Men’s Wheelchair Fencing- Category B for Team GB.
Last week, The Duke of Edinburgh shared a message for Team GB’s Paralympic athletes heading to Paris with this post on X, saying ”To all members of the @ParalympicsGB team heading for Paris, whether athletes, officials or staff, I want to wish you the very best of luck at the Paralympic Games.”
Prince Edward first became Patron of the British Paralympic Association in 2003 and has continued to show his support for British Paralympians.
