Yesterday Princess Anne attended the mens hockey match - Team GB v Netherlands
Princess Anne met with Team GB archers this morning.
Personally, I think Anne is more than enough, as an IOC member, and former Olympian, herself who better to represent the British RF at the Olympics. Edward is 60 so hardly bringing youth if he were to attend. The BRF only has two "young" members - William and Catherine, who is out of action (and they are in their 40s) That means any one else "young" will be a non-working royals their in a private capacity anyway - e.g. Zara, Mike, Beatrice. Yes it would be lovely if any of them attended - likewise if W&C did attend but I hardly think it means Team GB or the UK is missing out personally, it just means the media are getting less glamorous pictures.
The reality is, all RFs have different dynamics - many of Europe's atm are just blessed to be somewhat younger sovereigns and some have had their children accompany them. Leonore and Sofia are the only true young ones who have gone independently of their parents and that is an amazing thing for them to do tbf. I just don't see what having Amalia and Alexia tagging along with their parents watching the sports adds more than having an IOC member knows about competing in the olympics both from personal experience and being an active member of the IOC who attends all the meetings ahead of the games. It makes for better pictures is all IMO so get betters media coverage but I know who I'd rather get my medal from.
In all honesty, given recent events in the UK I'd be amazed if we see any more royals at the Olympics before we see them visit Southport where multiple children have been stabbed. E.g. if the Wales are going to do anything in the next week I suspect it will be a visit there over a visit to the Olympics.
