The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh played badminton.

I see in international sporting events the British royals support the UK teams. Do they ever attend events and support the teams of the Commonwealth Realms?

I’ve only ever observed the British royals fully support the UK. They may have supported realms like Canada and Australia/NZ long distance in the past in international competitions (the Matildas women’s soccer team recently for example) but don’t visit and never when the UK is playing.

I live in Australia and it was/is taken for granted that Princess Anne and Sophie Edinburgh would not visit the Aus Olympic team before and during the 2024 Games. Queen Mary of Denmark, an ex Aussie, did, though.

Too bad. One might think that it’d be good PR to support the Commonwealth teams.
