The Prince and Princess of Wales, and their three children, have joined cheering crowds at the Commonwealth Games netball semi-finals.
Spectators at Glasgow's OVO Hydro were treated to exhilarating performances during New Zealand's 61-54 win over England - and when Jamaica later took a narrow 46-45 victory over Australia.
Known as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay while in Scotland, the couple also spent time meeting athletes, staff and volunteers during a slightly blustery visit to the venue on the River Clyde.
Princess Catherine and Charlotte also took the time to take photos with the Team Scotland players - who lost to Uganda on Thursday, missing their chance to finish third.
