Princess of Wales prepares to christen HMS Glasgow as she supports William’s growing legacy efforts
Catherine is set to reunite with Prince William in Scotland as the royal couple continue to advance their shared mission through The Royal Foundation, Kensington Palace has confirmed.
Following her appearance at the Buckingham Palace Garden Party earlier this week, the Princess of Wales is expected to travel to Scotland to support her husband during his unannounced visit to Leith. William’s trip, which began on Wednesday, highlighted a new community initiative backed by the couple’s foundation, aimed at strengthening social connections through sport and local engagement.
A Palace spokesperson revealed, “The Prince and Princess want to leave a lasting impact and legacy,” noting their commitment to shaping their royal roles with meaningful, forward-looking projects.
On Thursday, Catherine will join William at a significant event—the naming ceremony for HMS Glasgow, where she will officially christen the naval ship at a Clyde dockyard by breaking a bottle of whisky against the hull.
The move reflects the royal couple’s dedication to initiatives that promote unity and resilience across the UK. Their Community Impact Programme, a key focus of The Royal Foundation, continues to support local development and accessible opportunities for communities in need.
As Prince William furthers his outreach efforts—especially through projects combining sport and social welfare—Catherine’s upcoming role in the ceremony signals a united front as they quietly prepare for their future as Britain’s next King and Queen.
